THE BIG KNOCKOVER: Selected Stories and Short Novels.

First edition thus. Original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Hoot Von Zitzewitz designed dustwrapper. A lovely very near copy, the binding square and firm, the contents with a small area of offsetting to the front and rear endpaper are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the bright, lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper which remains without loss. A lovely example.
