By: Burnett, W. R.

Price: $120.00

Publisher: New York, Knopf: 1952

Seller ID: cfe12384

Binding: Cloth

Condition: Fine

First Edition/First Printing 1952. A handsome copy in fine condition in a near fine unclipped ($3.00) dustjacket. Minor age toning with a tiny bit of fading to the front free endpaper only--may even be an unread copy. The fragile dustjacket is rare in this condition--a couple of tiny chips to the spine and a couple closed end tears--but bright and unfaded. Burnett is the author of "The Asphalt Jungle" and "Little Men, Big World" and this title is part of the three together--written as a trilogy. A collectable copy.
