About this Item

Very Good in a Good dustjacket. Gray boards. Both the spine and the front panel are stamped in purple. Octavo. 256pps. Stated First Edition. There are light touches of soiling to the cloth and the tips and the spine-ends are mildly bumped. There is, also, an abrasion in a corner of the ffep, as if of a pencil-erasure. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of rubbing -- particularly to the folds and the extremities, where there is modest rubbing wear. The rear panel is faintly dampstained; some of the text (and much of the photo) of this panel have been tamped away (as if during the removal of said dampstain). The original price is intact. Spillane's first novel not to feature Mike Hammer. Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. To assist with your decision, photos can be emailed upon request.
