First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First edition. Corners a little rubbed, and a few pages finger soiled, else near fine in a near very good dustwrapper with small chips at the spine ends and along the front flap fold. Jacket art by H. Post. A facetious novel, which according to the co-author's jacket copy: ". what this country needs is a good five-cent novel. The theme of the book is a gigantic exposé of the traffic in salted nuts. It sweeps to a thrilling climax, leaving nothing to be desired, in the last pages when actual eye-witness scenes of nuts being salted are described with a fidelity so close to nature. If asked to describe the book in a single phrase, we would call it 'The Greta Garbo of the book business.'" Although Perelman's first book, *Dawn Ginsbergh's Revenge*, is justifiably considered a rare book, this second book, co-written with Reynolds, a journalist and war correspondent, is by far his rarest. This is the first copy we've seen in jacket in well over 30 years - and we've been looking.
