Nobody Lives Forever

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1943. First Edition. Basis for the 1946 film noir, adapted by author W.R. Burnett from this novel, directed by Jean Negulesco and starring John Garfield.

Fine and unread in an about Fine dust jacket. Neat closed tear at the top real panel, expertly repaired with archival tape on the verso. Otherwise easily the nicest example of this book we have seen, with the sensitive jacket colors (green and red) bright and unfaded, and virtually no wear.
