THE LIVING AND THE DEAD

First American edition, first printing. Publisher's original grey boards with black titles to the spine, in the Bob Ritter illustrated dustwrapper. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping and toning to the extremities. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that is a touch faded to the spine but otherwise clean and bright. Not price-clipped ($2.75 to the upper front flap).

First published in French in 1954, 'D'entre les morts', the third collaboration between Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac, is the basis for the 1958 Alfred Hitchcock thriller 'Vertigo' starring James Stewart, Kim Novak and Barbara Bel Geddes.
