About this Item
8vo.,302pp. Beautiful Stated First Printing, bound in black cloth. Originally published by Michael Joseph in the UK several years earlier. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no toning or foxing; just a touch of off-setting to end-papers. Gentle bumping to crown. Very attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($3,50), has some fairly mild wear to edges and a couple of miniscule closed edge-tears. Still quite fresh and bright with no chipping. Basis for the classic 1954 Noir film of the same title directed by William Wyler and starring Humphrey Bogart. A sharp collectable copy of an uncommon title to find in such outstanding condition. (Hubin, p.192; Johnson, The Dark Page Il, p. 90). Seller Inventory # 011035
