About This Item
NY: McGraw. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1945. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 482 pages; 8vo, cloth, dust jacket. 482 pages. First Edition/First Printing of this exceedingly rare piece of literature. A Lion is in the Streets went through five printings and was eventually made into a film under the same name in 1953. Jacket has some tears along the top of the front and back cover. Dust jacket has some tearing and chipping. Cover has some rubbing. Name of previous owner on front free end paper in ink. Hard to find with a dust jacket. $3- price is still present on DJ. McGraw Hill Book Co up to the year of 1956 showed no additional printings if it was a First edition. This shows no additional printings on the copyright page [or anywhere else for that matter]. Additionally the dust jacket shows the retail price of $3.00 so we know it could not be a book club edition. You can refer to McBride's guide to first editions to confirm this. .
