Cage of Darkness

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.
