An Inner Sanctum Mystery. Fine first edition. Binding square and tight. Pages clean. Jacket not price clipped. Minor wear to spine ends and extremities. Very slight rubbing. One tiny closed tear to bottom of back cover. Great illustration of "The Author at Work" by Vertes. Wildly entertaining murder mystery set in a burlesque theatre, written by the famous stripper. Ms Lee was the inspiration for the Broadway musical "Gypsy" and considerable exposure on television in her later years. This book, which may have been ghost written by (or with) Craig Rice, was one of two mystery novels credited to Lee, and was the basis for the film "Lady of Burlesque" with Barbara Stanwyck in the title role. A lovely and uncommon book. Seller Inventory # 12019

Store Description

Sellers & Newel is a small book shop on College Street in the heart of downtown Toronto. We specialize in weird fiction, literature, poetry, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, and anything else that strikes us as interesting. Early in 2018, we took over the inventory of an online bookseller who has passed away. We have since discovered that several of his books were sold or removed but not deleted from the database. We are working to find and delete any such listings. This situation has caused some difficulty with our completion rating, which will be rectified. Also, many of his books lack descriptions, Please feel free to contact us about any book you encounter and we will be happy to supply full details and/or photos. In some cases, we also have some flexibility on shipping rates. Thanks for your support.
