Sex Life of Brigham Young

New York: Vantage Press, 1963. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/good +. 379pp. Octavo [20.5 cm] Olive green cloth. The front free endpaper is rippled, and has a small abraded area. With the scarce dust jacket, which is price-clipped, and has occasional short closed edge tears and chips which have been backed with 5 pieces of tape. Despite these flaws, the jacket still presents well. A writer and LDS member in good standing who apparently wrote and anonymously published this work through a vanity press for financial gain. When the publication came to the attention of LDS authorities, McGavin was informed in no uncertain terms to cease and desist. It is believed that the majority of the copies were subsequently destroyed.
