Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Later Printing (no "A"). (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light shelfwear only, slight darkening to spine cloth, minor soiling to rear cover; small name label on front pastedown, beneath which someone has drawn a crude peace symbol in blue ink]. Novel set in Greenwich Village, centering around a pair of sisters and their marriages -- one to an amiable fellow who hasn't quite recovered from losing his job when the stock market crashed in 1929, the other (working as an advertising copywriter) to a impoverished playwright who's convinced he's a genius and expects her to support him. The latter's domestic non-bliss is complicated when she meets and finds herself attracted to a more substantial guy, a former pro basketball player. One contemporary critic praised the book for its "witty, easy short-cut phrases [and] the sparkling slangy epigrams, like so many zircons twinkling in a jeweller's window," while also opining that it would make a good movie. It didn't make it onto the screen at all, actually, although the author's later novel, "Letter to Five Wives," did (after writer-director Joseph L. Mankiewicz jettisoned a couple of its wives).

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. First Edition. [light shelfwear, a couple of tiny stains on bottom of text block; jacket has a bit of wear and some minor creasing at spine ends and bottom of front panel, a couple of tiny closed edge-tears]. Novel about the Hardy sisters (no relation to the Hardy Boys), a pair of sort-of single mothers: Sue, who, in a funk after her husband was killed in the war, had surrendered the care of her twins to her domineering mother-in-law, so she could pursue her career as a band singer; and Nora, who's struggling to make ends meet for herself and her four kids following their abandonment by her feckless husband. The jacket blurb mansplainingly declares the author's "particular forte [to be] an uncanny understanding of women such as few male authors are privileged to possess," and lauds "the surgical precision with which Mr. Klempner dissects the mind and heart of the female of the species." Klempner's previous novel, "Letter to Five Wives," had been the basis for the two-wife-reduced movie adaptation A LETTER TO THREE WIVES.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good+. 1st Edition (A) [see notes]. (pictorial wrappers, with "jacket" flaps) [modest external wear, spine slightly turned]. The author's uncommon debut novel, about a newly- (and hastily-) married New York businessman, who finds himself driven to distraction by his obsession with his "lovely and enigmatic" wife's possible previous lover (or was he?), referred to only as "The Count" (but who apparently might not have been a "real" Count at all). Bound in pictorial wraps, with all the indicators of a Scribner's first edition, although this may actually be an advance copy of some sort. The author scored a big success (and a nice movie sale) a few years later with "Letter to Five Wives.".
