Raymond Chandler, "The Little Sister," Houghton Mifflin & Co., 1949. First edition (US).
An ex-lending library copy: rate sticker on front panel of jacket, edges trimmed to fit old jacket protector. Now housed in Brodart cover. Some slight burn at fore corners of endpapers from old jacket protector, small stamp on rear endpaper. Jacket flaps were glued down and have removed by peeling, resulting in tear marks to pastedowns and slight surface loss on verso of flaps, as well as a couple small tears to front flap. Aside from library flaws, book has moderate rubbing at spine ends and heavy rubbing at corners, spine leaning slightly, binding well-read with crack at title page, a couple instances of interior blemishes, though text remains clean. Overall a G+ copy that presents decently due to its bright dust jacket.
