Soft cover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Boardman Books No. TvB 115. Very hard-to-find edition of the novel upon which the noir movie "Where the Sidewalk Ends" was based. There is a price (or something--it's hard to read) in blue ink on the first page. Subsequent pages are very lightly toned but clean without marks, stains or wrinkles. Several pages have a bent or creased corner. The spine is very wrinkled so it's hard to tell whether there is a reading crease, but the book leans a little to the right. Light soiling to covers including a few darker marks or stains to the back cover in particular. There is also light rubbing to the back cover. Cover corners are bent or creased. There is wear to edges of covers and spine. (Note: Photos may show a flash reflection.) PayPal always welcome. We pack all our books with care and ship in cardboard boxes.
