Vanity Row

New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1952. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo., 276pp. Beautiful Stated First Edition. Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no interior toning or foxing. Minor edge-wear and toning to board edges. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($3.00), has a touch of edge-wear and rubbing but is fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or tears. Basis for the classic 1956 Noir film "Accused of Murder". A very handsome collectable copy. (Hubin, p.58; Johnson, The Dark Page II, p. 18).
