Item description from seller

Ellson, Hal. Tomboy. New York: Bantam Books 1950. Cover art by Robert Maguire of a young woman smoking a cigarette, watching as a couple embraces in a dark alleyway. A dark city skyline looms overhead. Tagline reads: "A shocking novel of teen-age gang life in the slums of Manhattan." 198 pages, 4" x 6.5." Harold "Hal" Ellson's work focused primarily on juvenile delinquency. Ellson was a social worker, recreational therapist, and nurse's aide at Bellevue Hospital, where he encountered the adolescent psychiatric patients on whom he based much of his fiction. Binding is fragile but holding. There is a loss of illustration the size of 2 quarters above the title, likely from pulling off a sticker label and does not affect the main image of the cover, since it is at the top. Otherwise good to fair condition.
