About This Item
[no place stated]: Howell, Soskin. Fair. (c.1941). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [ex-rental library book, intact but quite shelfworn, with considerable paper residue/remnants on front cover and both pastedowns, fading to spine cloth, some kind of white stain along rear hinge, etc.; a reading copy, nothing more]. Typical Chase pulp, with a classic politically-incorrect title (changed for most later editions to the more benign "Twelve Chinamen and a Woman"). Quote from the tiny portion of the jacket text that remains on the front pastedown: "This is no book for the faint-hearted. It is for mystery fans who like explosive action." .
