Not a library book nor a remainder. No bookplate nor signature of previous owner. The wraps are in fine condition. 7 x 4 ¼, 168 pages, 4 ounc…es XX [From the back cover]: James M. Cain, author of the classic crime novels The Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity and Serenade, here presents Carrie Selden and Grant Harris as the featured players. The Root of His Evil is a novel about a modern Cinderella much in the mold of Cain's own Mildred Pierce. Author Harlan Ellison has gone so far as to call Carrie and Mildred "sisters," and says: "If you like Cain you won't feel at all cheated to spend a while with Carrie Selden." "Cain can get down to greed and sex in fewer words than any writer we know." -- New York Times.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Near Fine dj. First Edition. [sharp-looking copy, the book in perfect condition but for a teensy-tiny spot on the top edge; the jacket shows just a trace of wear at the base of the spine]. (The Gregg Press Mystery Series) Series Omnibus volume, the first collection (and first hardcover appearance…) of three novels originally published as paperback originals in the late 1940's and early 1950's. The volume carries an introduction by the ever-feisty Harlan Ellison, who is refreshingly honest about these "less-than-splendid novels," which he calls "historically interesting quick-reads by a shamefully overlooked American master.". Illustrated by (dj) Fred Knecht, Jr. (illustrator).
