                        REAGE (Pauline).
History of O. With a preface by Jean Paulhan. Sceaux, Jean-Jacques Pauvert, 1954, 8°, [4]-XX-[4]-242-[8] p., title in red and black, br. Second edition published the same year as the original, printed at 1000 copies num. on laid paper.  "We know what hassle the publisher and the preface had to go through in the judicial investigation of this work, which was considered to be outrageous to morals. The judge in charge of investigating the case could only obtain from Paulhan, who had acted as an intermediary between the author and Mr. Pauvert, the real address or identity of Mrs. or Miss Pauline Réage. In the end, there was no trial, but the case was not finally closed until 1959" (Pia, 634-635). Nice copy.
