About This Item

New York: Dutton, 1952. Very Good in a Very Good dustjacket. Brown tweed boards. The spine is stamped in silver; the front panel in blind. Octavo. 251pps. Stated First Edition. There is slight rubbing wear to the tips and the spine-ends and some of the silver stamping has been flecked from the spine. There is a faint abrasion near the bottom of the ffep., as if a label has been neatly removed. Otherwise clean, bright, square, and soundly bound. No previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of rubbing: particularly at the extremities and along the folds; there are a couple of crinkles in the rear panel and a remnant of tape on either flap. The original price is intact. SIGNED and inscribed by the author to the original owner with 'Mike tangles with a platinum blonde for a change -- good to see you and best of luck.' ".The blonde dame was close enough to death without jumping in front of Mike Hammer's car. Of course, she didn't know who was driving or she would have known he would pick her up. Berga Torn had escaped from a sanitorium with nothing on but a loose coat, and she gave Mike trouble from the start. Running a police road-block, Mike's car is run off the road by a gang of thugs who kill Berga and think they have killed Mike. Nothing could be farther from the truth. When Mike regains consciousness and learns what has happened, nothing will stop him until he has brought to justice -- his, Mike's particular kind of justice -- the ones responsible. He knows the people who worked him over are just the tools of those higher up. Mike learns how much higher up those names are when the F.B.I. steps in." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. To assist with your decision, photos can be emailed upon request.. SIGNED by the Author. First Edition. Hard Cover.

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
