Casanova, M.D.

(no dust jacket) [reading copy only, an ex-rental library book with typical markings (including large circulation slip from University Libraries, Inc., Cambridge, Mass. affixed to ffep); much general wear, some degree of bumping/light fraying at most corners, front hinge cracked, etc.]. "For every bone Dr. Clinton Webb mended, he prided himself on breaking a heart. Among his easy conquests he numbered Gerry Patterson, wife of Don Patterson, wealthy young sportsman. In fact, the only woman to resist his charms was his nurse, Ruth Halstead, whose scalp he set about adding to his belt with a doggedness heightened by her resistance." (Sample dialogue, chosen at random: "Oh, darling, I -- I was born last night. I know that now. I know what it is to live, to be alive -- for the first time in all these empty, wasted years." That's the doctor speaking, of course; apparently this kind of patter got him laid a lot.)
