Contact seller5-star sellerSoft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First Book Publication. Trade paperback binding is solid and holding tight with corner chips to the front and rear cover, reading wear to the spine, and a slight curl about .5" away from the spine. The interior is clean: no writing, no bookplates, etc. The text is clean and unmarked with… a smudge on one page. NOT ex-library. A good copy of this rare paperback original, complete with the author's bizarre biographical statement on the rear cover. Cain was the author of Fast One, and these 7 hard-boiled stories are of the same high caliber.
