About This Item
First trade paperback edition, published by Penguin, 2015. A new analysis of the classic of 20th Century Literature, with fresh insight into the influence of this work and the contemporaneous double murder that commanded the attention of both New York City and the rest of the nation. 400 pages with Index, Notes, and Bibliography. This is not a remainder, not a library discard. No former ownership marks, no writing on the text pages. Edges of the text block show some some areas of age fading but that would most likely be common considering the type of paper stock used. The binding is tight and square. No creases to the cover or spine. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory.
