New York: Liaison, 1962-1963.
Sold
Unbound. Fourteen consecutive issues. Each issue consists of a single leaf folded to make six 8½" x 11" pages. Ownership signature of noted American psychologist Henry Guze, co-founder along with Albert Ellis, of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sex, on the first page of each issue, old folds from mailing, remnants of paper seals used to mail the issues, very good. Sexual anecdotes, humor, and some serious articles. Although the editors are not identified, Dr. Albert Ellis seems likely to have been the motivating force behind *Liaison*, as many of the articles are by him. Issue number 13 is largely devoted to a single essay, *Eight to Two* by Langston Hughes about black sexuality, the title derived from his anecdotal research during WWII revealing that black soldiers applied for condoms from unit medics and physicians at the rate of eight to every two requested by white soldiers. Very uncommon. We haven't seen it before. *OCLC* appears to locate two incomplete runs (in one case indicating issues 15 and 16, so we assume this run is incomplete as well).
