A propos de cet article

Self published by Howard Fast, New York, 1951. Hardback, NF/VG+. Stated First Edition ("Published December 1951 / First Edition"), presumed First Printing (because the price printed on front dj flap is"$5.00", indicating that this was part of a limited signed first edition because the first trade printing was priced $2.50). 8-3/8" tall; 363 pages; one- piece medium-brown cloth binding, gilt lettering on spine (title & author only), front board plain; plain ivory end pages; untrimmed fore edge. Book is in very fine condition: book is clean and square, binding tight, corners not bumped; slight creasing at head and heel of spine with no fabric damage, portions of end pages have slight darkening as though news clippings were kept there; otherwise the book is near fine or better. The interior is superb--strong hinges, flexible paper, and pages that are free of any marking, stains or other damage. Jacket is very good, with mild darkening to rear panel and moderate darkening to the spine and three minuscule chips (largest is 1/8" x 1/8") from head and heel of spine; dust jacket illustration by Charles White. No other discernible or objectionable faults on book or jacket such as marks or writing within, stains, tears, chips, or other damage that would diminish its appearance. No remainder mark, no previous owner markings or inscriptions, not price-clipped, not a book club edition, not a former library book. Signed legibly in blue ball point pen by the author in the middle of the front end page. N° de réf. du vendeur BMR-2019-4-27-2
