Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. This offering is a vintage copy of No Bed of Her Own written by Val Lewton. The book was published by Triangle Books in 1948 and does not appear to be a First Edition . . . just a nice older copy (of a book that Hitler had on a list to be burned) in good + condition. It is NOT an ex-library copy and is a hardcover edition in good + condition with a front cover color illustration of a woman (assumed to be Rose) drawn by Vincentini - laminated hard cover boards and no dust jacket. It DOES have what looks to be an old "price" of 1.50 on the front cover in the upper left hand corner written in black magic marker (which is not what I paid for the book). Also the top of the spine was beginning to fray a bit so I put tape over it to protect the integrity of the spine. You can hardly tell it's there. The book is 5 3/4" by 7 1/2" and has 237 pages that are beginning to yellow. At this point the book is in nice shape . . . BUT the book is over seventy years old . . . pages begin to yellow and spines can get brittle . . . it's not a book to buy and put in a school library. It's a nice look at a Triangle Book from a time gone by a popular writer and eventual film-producer of horror movies. "A strange, exciting story of a woman's desire for love and security at a time when there is no money to try to buy either." Thank you!

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Illustrated by (cover) Vincentini (illustrator). Reprint. (laminated pictorial boards; no dust jacket) [solid copy with light external soiling, less wear than often seen on these cheap editions; tiny chip at top of spine, short crack (not separated) at base of spine, typical age-toning (not severe) to pages]. Reprint edition of one of several pulp novels written by Lewton early in his career (and published under his own name rather than his perferred pseudonym, "Carlos Keith"). This is about a woman who takes refuge from "twenty years of insecurity and reckless living" in the big city (New York) in a small apartment building in a small village -- oddly, a building that had been built by her father, as a gift for her mother, years before. The trials and tribulations of the building's many denizens -- the striving young writer and his pregnant wife, the woman whose competition for boyfriends was her own mother, the retired actress, etc. -- fuel the book's narrative. (Although I have never seen the original 1932 edition of this book ('tis muy scarce), I'm 99% sure that same Vincentini illustration on the cover of this reprint derives from the dust jacket of the earlier book -- in fact, the signature on this one reads "Vincentini 31." Vincentini also illustrated all three of Lewton's "Carlos Keith" novels, originally published (as was "Yearly Lease") by The Vanguard Press.).
