Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, U.S.A.: G. P. Putnam's & Sons, 1961. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Fine/Very Good+. Impeccable research by a magazine reporter & writer takes you behind the headlines into the life & crimes--both alleged & proven--of Caryl Chessman, who was executed after a 12-year prison stay at San Quentin for being the "Red Light Bandit," a robber/serial rapist/kidnapper who preyed on couples in cars in & around Los Angeles, CA, in the 1940s. His execution paved the way for the movement to abolish the death penalty in that state. This scarce title painstakingly reexamines the case & comes to "shocking conclusions" about the crime, the state, the press, the police, & the courts. In 321 pages + 16 pages of black-and-white photos. A FIRST EDITION, first printing, from 1961, this hHardcove 8vo is in Fine condition: exceptionally clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure. Pages slightly off white but completely unmarked. Former owner's stamp inside front cover. The unclipped DJ is VG+, with very minor edgewear & rubbing to extremities; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover free! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
