Description
Carroll John Daly. Murder Won't Wait. New York: Ives Washburn, 1933. First edition. Octavo (7.5 x 5.125 inches; 190 130 mm.). [2, blank], viii, 307, [3, blank] pages. Publisher's light green cloth, spine lettered in black with embossed publisher's device, front board ruled in blind, in original dust jacket. Very gentle spine lean; backstrip dulled; spine ends and corners worn with some lightly fraying; boards lightly soiled, with one dark blemish to rear board. Faint indentation to front endpaper from previous owner's penciled signature, since erased; small rubber stamped to rear free endpaper; trace light thumbsoiling. Dust jacket edges lightly worn, with a few minor nicks and tiny closed tears; front panel lightly rubbed; white background of rear panel lightly soiled with shallow marginal rippling near joint fold; verso lightly rubbed. Very good overall in a nice example of the dust jacket. "One of the most important figures in the history of the genre, Carroll John Daly was instrumental in the development of the hard-boiled school of crime writing...he is credited with writing one of the first hard-boiled crime stories with 'The False Burton Combs' which appeared in Black Mask magazine, December 1922." (Steven Powell. 100 American Crime Writers. Houndmills: 2012. p. 96). From the KoKo Collection.Auction Info
