McCoy, Horace
Kiss Tomorrow Good-bye [Goodbye]
|
|
New York: Random House, 1948. First Edition. First issue dust jacket, with a price of $2.75 at the top of the front flap.
Unwilling to use the price printed on the jacket at the time of publication, Random House issued the first printing of "Kiss Tomorrow Good-bye" with the price clipped. This is a rare review jacket, slightly taller than the book, sent out prior to publication. The only copy with a price present we have ever seen.
Considered by many to be McCoy's finest novel, a gangster story with a highly unreliable, psychopathic narrator who takes a left turn midway through the story and goes off the deep end in a beautiful way. Basis for the 1950 film noir starring James Cagney and Barbara Payton.
About Fine in a stunning, Fine example of the dust jacket. A faint inked "X" is made through the printed price, evidence in our opinion that the publisher had already decided against it. [Book #125644]
