Sobre este artículo
New York: Caxton House, Inc., 1939. Exceptional copy of this 1939 reprint of a book first published in 1932, by the notorious femme fatale Mae West. The heroine of the story is described as the queen of the underworld, a gang leader's mistress with a past in Chicago, and "a beautiful short course to hell". The book is a study in high camp, with gangland dialect and the usual criminal stereotypes. Black cloth printed in red, 256 pages, illustrated dustjacket with the image (by Polly Hill) of a curvy, sultry Diamond Lil on the front. The book has almost no wear, good hinges, sound text block, age-toned but clean pages free from names or other markings. The mylar protected dustjacket has some edge rubbing and some very minor chips to the spine ends, very light shelf soil to the light-colored rear panel.. Early Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
