Boston: Houghton, Mifflin, 1944. First Edition. Fine in a Very Good or better dust jacket. SIGNED by the author on the title page. Jacket is bright with small chips to corners, light rubbing and a few small closed tears. A book that is found on the market from time to time, but rarely in a dust jacket or in this condition. Meeting all first edition points, which include the following: (1) red cloth, with titles stamped in black, (2) date of 1944 at the bottom of the title page, (3) measures roughly 8 by 5.5 inches, (4) 429 pages of text, and (5) price of $2.50 to the front jacket flap. Later editions are often confused with the first, due to the fact that they were made from better materials, the opposite of normal practice. The first printing was printed under wartime restrictions in 1944, then under better circumstances when the war ended in 1945. Basis for the superb 1945 film, a late, blazing-Technicolor noir starring Gene Tierney, Cornel Wilde and Vincent Price. [Book #80759]
