About This Item
New York: The Crime Club By Doubleday & Co., 1947. First American Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. This is a stated first edition. The interior is clean and tight. The paper has tanned slightly, but there are no marks or wear. The beige covers are fresh, with minor wear at tips and corners, and a very small brown stain at the top of the spine area. This should be visible in one of the attached scans. The dust jacket, however is only in Good condition. It is not price-clipped ($2.00), but there is significant wear and damage to the top and bottom of the spine. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition. the jacket is now in a protective mylar cover. Synopsis: "Joshua Clunk, sometimes known as the hymn-singing hypocrite, seemed to be the only person who realized that the burglary of an insignifcant shop could have wide and important significance. Then it developed that Inspector Underwood was interested too. Although the case was closed, Underwood and his aides kept running down angles on the burglary" and ultimately discovered a sophisticated gang of robbers.
