The Blank Wall (From the Personal Library of Dust-Jacket Illustrator H. Lawrence Hoffman)

Holding, Elisabeth Sanxay

Published by Simon and Schuster - Inner Sanctum Mystery, New York, 1947

8vo., 231pp. Solid First Edition of this novel of suspense. Bound in mauve cloth with lettering in gilt on spine. Square and tight with a touch of rubbing to spine ends and tips. Mild toning to pages and off-setting to end-papers. Ownership signature on front end-paper and loosely glued bookplate on front paste-down. Attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.50), has chipping to the spine ends and tips. Rubbing to folds. A couple of tiny closed edge-tears. Rear panel toning. Still bright and quite presentable. Though not marked in any way, this came directly from the library of H. Lawrence Hoffman who illustrated the dust-jacket. His son, David Hoffman, the noted documentary filmmaker, has signed a statement with information about his father, the artist, and attesting that the book was from his library. A copy of this is included. A pretty collectable copy of a scarce title and at a great price. Seller Inventory # 018195
