4 volume set, privately printed by John Rodker "for subscribers" in 1927. All 4 volumes in very good condition, for their age, with tight binding throughout. Foxing throughout the volumes. Book covers are faded, particularly the spines, with bumping to the edges Twelve books in four volumes (complete set). Variously paginated but each volume is approximately 400 pages. Original purple cloth lettered in gilt on spines, gilt designs on front boards. Color frontispieces & illustrations. Edition limited to 1000 numbered sets, but this set unnumbered. A nice edition of this collection of erotic tales from the Orient. Considered very racy at the time of publication, they are obviously somewhat tame by modern standards.

Book 2 The Harlot's Breviary of Kshemendra. Book 3: The Book of Women, and the Education of Wives. English Versions of the Zenan-Nameh of Fazil-Bey and Ta'dib Ul-Nisvan by E. Powys Mathers.
