Townsend A5. Advance publisher's copy with "Discussion Copy" stamped on front boards and printed across front panel of the dustjacket. Rear panel has an explanation titled "Why a discussion copy".

Purple boards are faded (common with this title), a slight touch of fraying at base of spine, two ownership signatures; else clean, tight square and unmarked. Professionally restored jacket has light toning, light rubbing on rear panel; else intact, very nice period art by Leffertz. Stout's first book, a noirish psychlogical suspense story, some feel is overlooked and underrated. A very special item, particularly in this condition.Advance Review Copy.
