Description: Hammett, Dashiell - The Glass Key - Alfred A Knopf: New York, 1931 - First Edition / First Printing - Matching dates on the title and on the copyright page with no mention of later printings as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. This is one of the few Knopf titles not known to conform to their typical edition rules. The book has sunning to the spine, soiling on the spine and both panels with areas of darkening, and some general shelf wear. The boards remain reasonably straight, binding is square, the top stain is dark and mostly unblemished, and internally there is no writing. A solid and well kept, albeit dirty, copy of this important title. Hammett’s fourth novel. Basis for the two rather good film noir adaptations from 1935 and 1942. A Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone. All books are offered with a full 30 day postage paid return policy. All books which are in dust jackets will be mailed with a clear archival dust jacket protector fitted. Shipping costs can be combined if multiple purchases are made. Items will be packaged and shipped within one business day unless otherwise noted.
