first edition Softcover
1942 · New York
by GUNN, James
New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1942. Softcover. Fine. First edition. Advance Reading Copy. Fine in self-wrappers with some very faint offsetting on the front wrap. A very nice copy of this pre-publication issue of the author's first book, a noir classic that was the basis for the 1947 film *Born to Kill* directed by Robert Wise, and featuring Claire Trevor, Lawrence Tierney, and Walter Slezak.
