RARE ORIGINAL 1946 1st edition of Nevada Lawyer by Paul Ralli, hardcover in dustjacket, 1st edition. INSCRIBED by the Author Published by Mathis, Van Nort, & Co., Dallas, 1946. In the summer of 1933, a newly minted lawyer named Paul Ralli arrived in Las Vegas, where he planned to launch his legal career. One of the first people to write seriously about Las Vegas, Ralli vividly described the small town he had chosen to call home. ?The town impressed me as being very different from any other American town,? Ralli wrote in Nevada Lawyer, his 1946 memoir. ?It had a touch of Mexico?s Tijuana, where people loitered in the streets, and the tempo was slow. There was a lack of formality in the air, and absolute disregard for social distinction. The people were friendly, and money was loose and plentiful. The bars and gambling halls were packed to capacity, and Boulder Dam workers were pouring their earnings into the town. Loafers and moochers roamed the streets, and women of questionable reputation rubbed elbows with society.? jacket wear and tear, some cloth wear, inside some marks and spots, good".
