Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Possibly the only copy available. A classic Noir from about 1952, but the date is notional; I can't find any date in the publication. Great cover, and a great pulp author. Language: eng.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Chester Gould (illustrator). 1st Edition. A true pulp, and the paper used in this book's production has mellowed down to demonstrate that fact. It is brown as a smokers lung. Great jacket, absolutely terrific endpapers, and a total essential joy for the Tracy fan. Rare to find a copy as good and complete as this one. Please note that near Fine takes into account that this is now an old hardback first edition of a book produced with cheap materials. But that patina is just an additional joy to the true collector. Numerous superb graphic illustrations from Gould. Nice and square, no lean, and an extremely attractive uncommon first printing of the world first edition hardback. A former owner's name is almost lost on the front end paper. The killer kills, the moll purrs, the straight man wins and this is as good as it gets. 0.0 0.0 0.0.
