Well, for one thing, it overtly names Lizzie as a probable "lesbian type," and lays out Harrington's testimony on ladies' clothing, leading one to wonder about his actual preferences, his marriage to a woman notwithstanding!

Jim, you can find this book for sale on BookFinder.com.

The paperback is the first edition and it was published in 1953. You can pick up a copy for under ten dollors

It has also been issued in hard cover with a limited edition of 300 copies.
These are more expensive; about three times the cost of the pb.

Truth to tell, it's really not much of a blockbuster.

I have read this book, and while I thought it had some interesting facts in it, I did not agree with his over all theory.
