		*The Ginger Man*

	Wraps \| Olympia Press, Paris 1960 - 323 pages 2nd Olympia paperback edition with new cover design. I haven't been able to determine yet if the text is that of the unexpurgated first edition or the slightly expurgated version that appeared in the Olympia hardcover edition published in 1958. From the rather pointed anti-Donleavy and anti-censorship blurb on the back cover, it's probably the former.

		*The Ginger Man*

	Wraps \| Corgi, Transworld Publishers, London, 1963 347 pages 1st UK unexpurgated edition and UK mass market paperback edition. Publication and marketing of this edition is said by Donleavy to have marked the turning point in his career, giving him best seller status and making him famous.

This title was the first book issued by Seymour (Sam) Lawrence's imprint in association with Delacorte Press. Lawrence, a major force in publishing whose praises remain undersung, championed not only the work of Donleavy but other important authors, including Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Brautigan, Thomas Berger and William Saroyan.
