Dashiell Hammett “The Maltese Falcon” February 1945 vintage Pocket paperback in dust jacket
Original price was: $94.00.$76.14Current price is: $76.14.
CONDITION:
Book: Good plus with a solid binding, no torn, folded or loose pages, no writing. Has some fairly heavy creasing about mid-way down the spine, book closes flat, tinted block edges show some sunning. Inside front and back covers, there is the remnants of where the dust jacket had originally be glued to the book – I do not know if the publisher did that or if an overzealous owner did. Artwork on the covers is bright.
Jacket: Acceptable to good condition, large loss along the middle of the spine, chipping at spine head, no writing, creased with some chipping along front bottom edge. Backside of flaps show the reverse of the glue action mentioned in book description. Now carefully protected in an archival sleeve.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Not a perfect copy, but still very specials considering this was the books first appearance in paperback form and the original dust wrapper is still present.
