Savage Bride by Cornell Woolrich   Gold Medal No. 136   1950   PBO, 1st Edition   $75  SOLD to mstrange

An astonishing copy of this weird fantasy/suspense novel by the master of noir. Great GGA cover art by Barye Phillips.

Near Mint. I never grade vintage paperbacks at this grade but this is so sharp, glossy and new, it's unbelievable that 74 year old books survive like this. Near perfect lamination and corners. One of two copies like this I got in the "High Grade" collection two years ago. The other is the keeper in my near complete Cornell Woolrich PB collection.
