Ride the Pink Horse: 1946 Dell Map Back Vintage Paperback
Original price was: $33.00.$26.73Current price is: $26.73.
This is a “good plus” vintage paperback with the desirable “map back” design that Dell Books popularized in the Forties, published in 1946.
The binding is solid, not cracked or shook. The reason I have graded this as just “good plus” is that there is what appears to be some predation at the top of the spine. Otherwise complete and solid. Text block closes tightly, a hint of roll. Much of the glossy coating appears to have come off the covers. Original owner names penned inside front free endpaper, otherwise no writing, no torn pages.
Super fun! This is one of Ms. Hughes best known of 14 crime noir novels, and it was made into a film by Robert Montgomery in 1947.
