first edition Hardcover
1956 · New York
by DEMPSEY, David
New York: Ballantine, 1956. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First edition. By very discreet evidence an ex-library copy with a small inventory number stamped on the dedication page, and some very faint signs of a pocket removed on the rear pastedown. Pages browned, a faint tide mark along the edge of the spine on the front board, very good in very good, spine-faded dustwrapper lightly chipped at the crown. True story of a flood on the East Coast, apparently rushed into print. An uncommon Ballantine hardcover. (Inventory #: 40364)
