Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Karov (illustrator). First Edition. (price-clipped) [a good sound copy, lightly worn at extremities; the jacket shows just a bit of edgewear]. Novel about a young white teacher in a Harlem school, by an author who was (surprise!) a young New York school teacher. Sterling North, reviewing the book in the Indianapolis News, was less than impressed: "Being a budding writer he makes his hero also a budding writer. Being a young liberal he makes his protagonist a young liberal. Then he appends the usual affidavit that all his characters are imaginary. For 377 pages this purely imaginary hero, Matthew Stratton, mopes and gropes with problems of racial discrimination, problems of sex, problems of poverty and crime, problems of ego." He does allow, however, that the author "is at his best when he deals in forthright fashion with the tough, disillusioning life of the lower East Side, and with the even tougher and more disillusioning pattern of existence in Harlem.".

Karov (Jacket designed by) (illustrator). Original 1951 first American edition of Rene Masson's gritty urban noir novel Cage of Darkness, which according to the jacket is "a tense, laconic story of the back alleys of Paris and their obsessed and implacable young criminals." The book is overall in very good condition with some minor signs of wear and age. It comes in its original dust jacket which is also in very good condition with some small chips and tears and other minor wear. The jacket comes in a protective removable Brodart wrapper. The actual covers of the book only have some minor wear. The binding is good and sound. The interior is lightly toned from age but is mostly nice and clean though there may be the very occasional page with a light bit of foxing, grubbiness, or some kind of other minor imperfection. Generally though, it's a nice copy. The book measures approximately 7 3/4 inches by 5 3/8 inches and is 266 pages long. Please look at all of the photos to further note the condition.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Karov (illustrator). Book Club Edition. [a good sound copy, minor shelfwear, mild age-toning to edges of text block; the jacket has a tiny chunk missing from the lower right front panel, a couple more tiny bits of paper loss at the top of the spine, a small closed tear at the top of the front panel, light staining/tanning along the spine]. Algren's most well-known novel, a tale of a morphine-addicted gambler that was the basis for the 1955 Otto Preminger-directed film of the same name, which put up a serious challenge to the tenets of the Motion Picture Production Code. It was one of the first major Hollywood films to achieve significant books despite having initially been released (by United Artists) without a Code seal.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Karov (illustrator). Early printing. [a good sound copy, light dust-soiling to top edge, minor wear at spine ends, non-authorial gift inscription on front endpaper (dated Dec. 25, 1948); the jacket is unblemished but for some very light wear at the spine ends, and with the title panel on the spine faded to the point of unreadability]. Mailer's Important Debut Novel, notable for its (almost) no-holds-barred depiction of the ugliness of war, notable also for the introduction of "fug" and its many variants (including "mother-fuggin") as a substitute for a word that was, even then, pretty well known and widely used, albeit not in polite (or public) discourse. (Mailer's concession to his nervous publishers, it was also immortalized in the apocryphal -- and according to Mailer, completely made up by her press agent -- remark of actress Tallulah Bankhead, allegedly uttered upon being introduced to the author: "You're the young man that doesn't know how to spell 'fuck.'") In the somewhat watered-down 1958 movie version, directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Aldo Ray, Cliff Robertson and Raymond Massey, not only did nobody say "fuck," but (this still being the era of Hollywood's Production Code) they weren't even permitted to utter a single "goddam," an epithet which appears on pretty much every one of the book's 721 pages. (The unclipped jacket bears a $4.00 printed price, identical with the first-issue jacket, but this printing substitutes a regular descriptive blurb and a number of excerpts from critical reviews for Stanley Rinehart's "A Word from the Publisher to the Reader" which took up both flaps on the first-issue jacket. (There are excerpts from eight different reviews; we have handled at least one slightly earlier printing that had only four such excerpts.) The late-1948 date of the gift inscription is probably close to the printing date: the book had been published in May, was reported to have sold 200,000 copies in the first three months, and was still on the NYT best-seller list when Christmas season rolled around, which is likely when this copy was originally purchased as a gift.).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Karov (illustrator). First Edition. (price-clipped) [modest shelfwear to book, a couple of tiny nicks in lower edges of covers, light wear to extremities, a little dust-soiling and minor spotting to top edge of text block; the jacket has some shallow chipping along the top edge, a bit of wear at the base of the spine and some light soiling to the rear panel]. Psychological thriller about "two brothers held together by a strange and precarious bond, the devotion of one man to his brother who is the victim of intermittent, uncontrollable urges to steal and rape." This British author, whose first novel, "Kiss the Blood Off My Hands," had been published in 1940, was pretty hot in the late 1940s, at least as far as the movies were concerned. At the time "Slippery Hitch" was published, the 1948 movie version of "Kiss the Blood," starring Burt Lancaster, was still in release; an English film written by Butler, THIRD TIME LUCKY (which was also based on one of his novels), was currently playing; and a little later in 1949, RKO bought the film rights to yet another Butler novel, "Mad With Much Heart," which would eventually reached the screen in 1951 under the title ON DANGEROUS GROUND. This novel also had its movie rights snapped up, but unlike the others no movie version was ever made. Oh, well, three out of four is a better track record than most authors achieve.
