Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Priscilla Nielsen -- Dustwrapper (illustrator). First Edition. 253 pp., illustrated dustwrapper. there is no damage to describe of either the dust jacket, all the book. Free of annotation. the author uses humour and her ironic wit to explore sex and love and the world of difference between them. Marriage seems, is something else again, especially when coupled, or tripled as the case may be, with the responsibility of family.
