Dark blue cloth lettered in yellow, publisher's device in blind on front cover. Previous owner's name on the front end paper, faint edge wear, a very clean and attractive copy in the pictorial dust jacket. The dust jacket has a small piece from the base of the spine, some wear to the top of the spine, and a couple of closed tears at folds; the jacket has had some archival tape repairs to the reverse. Really quite a nice copy. The basis of the 1929 gangster film of the same title.
