Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. H. Lawrence Hoffman (illustrator). Vintage Paperback Pocket Books 228. Sharp Second Pocket Printing, October, 1943. $.25 cover price. Square, tight and clean throughout with mild toning on spine and edges. A touch of rubbing to hinges. Still fresh and bright with no chipping, crease or tears. Though not marked in any way, this came directly from the library of H. Lawrence Hoffman who illustrated the front cover. His son, David Hoffman, the noted documentary filmmaker, has signed a statement with information about his father, the artist, and attesting that the book was from his library. A copy of this is included. A very pretty collectable copy of the first Bertha Cool & Donald Lam mystery and the first title published using this pseudonym. An uncommon printing as are all of the early printings.
