Dell Map back “Ride the Pink Horse” 1946 First Dell printing Murder mystery Dorothy B. Hughes Vintage paperback
$33.00 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.

The Motion Picture Chums War Spectacle 1916 First edition Last book of the series Extremely scarce title Antique children’s series book
First edition, identified by the copyright page lists and also series books lists in the back of the book. Solid binding, no writing or marks aside from a name carefully penciled on the front free end paper. No torn, folded or loose pages. Board corners are bumped, more so on the bottoms, some minimal wear to the cloth on the corner tips, not worn through. Spine head and tail bumped, but cloth is not frayed.
