About This Item
Roberts Rinehart, 2001-03-31. hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 6x1x9. Roberts Rinehart Publishers [Published date: 2001]. Hard cover, 362 pp. No other printings listed. Inscribed and signed (first name only) by Paul M. Levitt on front free end paper (personalized). Very good in very good dust jacket. Black cloth covered boards with silver lettering on spine have light bumping and scuffing to edges. Binding tight. Pages clean and unmarked. Dust jacket has a few tiny nicks and light creasing along the edges. Light overall scuffing to jacket as well. NOT price clipped. Now in an archival-quality (removable) Brodart Cover. NOT Ex-library. NO remainder marks. [From back cover] Henrietta Fine, aged ninety, died in 1995. As executor of her estate, I was charged with the responsibility of locating her numerous bank accounts, most under assumed names, owing, no doubt, to the illicit sources of her money. What I did not expect to find was a safe-deposit box in Boulder, Colorado that held a book manuscript and several newspaper clippings. I gather from Miss Fine's opus that having frequently been in the company of gangsters she saw - and shamefully contributed to - events some chroniclers of the period overlooked. That she never published her own experiences is quite understandable, given the sensibilities of the age. Even today, I hesitate to bring this book into print because some moralists might find Henrietta's story shocking.
