The Little Sister
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1949.
First American edition, first issue cloth. [vi], 249 pp. Publisher's red cloth stamped in navy blue. Edges a little foxed and dust-soiled, offsetting to endpapers, else Fine and bright. The pictorial dust jacket is remarkable for being completely unsunned and rich in color-- especially the spine panel, which invariably appears yellowed and dulled in other copies. The head of the jacket is a little worn and there is a bit of dust soiling, light foxing to verso, and minor shelf wear, but it is unclipped ($2.50) and, best of all, unsophisticated; it has had no work done to it. The copy to beat of the classic Philip Marlowe mystery. Item #140940466
