Would you like a spare copy of a book I now have 2 copies of and am not sure I'm ever going to read - on the grounds that every time I flip it open I find a passage that makes me go 'aaaargh' and fall twitching on the ground, to the consternation of my colleagues - Nils Ringdal, Love for Sale: A Global History of Prostitution (since time immemorial, as well)? (And have you ever seen Ronald Hyam's Empire and Sexuality in which he does the Oxford upper-crust version of 'Evil Feminazis' taking over the discipline and then rips off large chunks of Walkowitz et al without attribution - well, he does footnote, but as he misspells her name throughout...)
