Best things about this cover:
- "I don't think they're so odd," he said, self-consciously.
- So many questions. Such as, where has her right arm got to? Or, why their bed is a parallelogram?
- Remember the fad of wearing two differently colored stockings!? Me either.
- "You awake? … tickle tickle! … alright then, I'm just going to remove your head with my jaws now, OK? Just relax."
- "The only practical sex was unnatural sex!" — Having trouble understanding the use of the word "practical" here. "Well, see, I would just put my penis in your vagina, but … it's really not practical for me ... right now … at this juncture … you know? So, let's just bring in the elephant and the mustard and see how it goes, mkay? It's just easier that way."
Best things about this back cover:
- Shadowy = Lesbiany. In case you're unfamiliar with paperback code.
- INA, ha ha! Calling all crossword constructors, we got a live one!
- I want a business card that reads "Encourager of odd rites and practices."

The sting of his blow had not penetrated.
Nope, sorry, that was just the first thing I opened to. Hang on … OK, here we go:
"Bernice," he called out.
But the bikini-clad goddess who appeared casually at the top of the mezzanine stairs in response to his blithe summons was not, of course, Bernice.
If ever there was a name custom-made for softcore porn, that name is Blithe Summons.

I'm pretty sure that's her right arm over her head. The question is where his left arm is. Since it must be below the level of the bed, I have my suspicions. On top of the mismatched stockings, she also seems to be wearing a tinfoil slip. I guess that's sort of kinky.
He looks like a vampire filling up at the nearest bloood station!
