ALLARD, Kent (pseudonym of WAGNER, Karl Edward (1945-1994)). The Other Woman! [New York:] The Orpheus Series, [1973]. 12mo. Mass market paperback in pictorial wrappers. THE SCARCE FIRST EDITION OF THIS LESBIAN EROTICA NOVEL, WRITTEN BY FANTASY/HORROR EDITOR AND AUTHOR, KARL EDWARD WAGNER. Wagner wrote this around the same time he was trying to found his fantasy/horror publishing house, Carcosa, so it is probable he took this job as a quick buck to help fund it. As an interesting aside, his pseudonym, Kent Allard, was the real name of Walter Gibson's The Shadow (Allard was The Shadow's real name in pulp and novel appearances, and Lamont Cranston was his name on radio or film appearances). 

Condition

Some creasing to spine, light wear to joints and edges of wrappers, some mild scuffing to rear wrapper, text toned. Still, very good.
