The Bottletop Affair

New York: Simon and Schuster. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. 1959. First Edition. Hardcover. [a good sound copy, light shelfwear only, age-toning to pages; the jacket shows a bit of soiling, with a tiny tear at the top of the spine]. This "compellingly loony story of a young man with ten college credits in Japanese, a connoisseur's appreciation of Army nurses, and a mission," set on a remote Pacific island outpost during World War II, served as the basis for the 1962 film THE HORIZONTAL LIEUTENANT, starring Jim Hutton and Paula Prentiss. .
