A propos de cet article

[Good only, a well-worn copy with heavy spine roll, edgewear, soiling along right edge of front cover, typical signs of aging to cheap paper]. This newspaper/mystery yarn, which draws upon future film director Sam Fuller's youthful experience as a copy boy and crime reporter, is one of the more notable ASEs due to the special place it holds in the personal chronicle of its author, who was serving in the U.S. Army in Europe at the time of its publication; by Fuller's own account, he first encountered his book in print in this very edition -- in France, shortly after D-Day, when he saw another G.I. reading a copy, an incident he later incorporated into both the book and film versions of his WWII epic "The Big Red One" (re-titling the book "The Dark Deadline" therein). He claimed to have left the first draft of the novel with his mother before he shipped out -- intending to revise and polish it after the war -- and she had proceeded to make the deal for its publication (the hardcover edition was issued by Duell, Sloan & Pearce). (The book also served as the basis for the 1952 movie SCANDAL SHEET, directed by Phil Karlson.) Judging from the condition of this particular copy, I don't think it's much of a stretch to assume it spent some time riding around in the pocket of one or more American soldiers, which of course was the entire purpose of the Armed Services Editions.…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
