PHANTOM LADY

First edition in book form, first printing. Publisher's original blue cloth with dark blue titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with the faint evidence of an erased name on the front free endpaper are otherwise fine, clean and bright throughout. Complete with the original lightly rubbed, nicked and creased pictorial dustwrapper that remains bright and with only minor loss to the corners. Not price-clipped ($2.00 to the lower front flap). A tough title to find in attractive original condition.

A Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone. This was Woolrich's first book under the William Irish pseudonym. The basis for the 1944 Robert Siodmak directed film noir starring Franchot Tone, Ella Raines and Alan Curtis. (Hubin)
