About this Item
First edition. Bottom of the boards rubbed thus very good in very good or better dust jacket with a couple of modest and professional internal mends (but no restoration), tiny nicks at the crown, and a creased tear at the top of the front panel near the spine. Inscribed by the author: "For Harold & Alice with best regards Bill (W. R. Burnett)." Burnett's first book, basis for the Mervyn LeRoy-directed film of the following year which provided Edward G. Robinson with his breakthrough, star-making performance and popularized the genre of gangster films. The Literary Guild, a contemporary book club, issued the title shortly after the first, and that issue is often falsely identified as the first edition. Uncommon in jacket or signed. Along with Dashiell Hammett's *Red Harvest*, a candidate for the first significant published noir novel. *Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone.*. Seller Inventory # 424329
