Finger Man by Raymond Chandler   Avon 219   1949       $35  SOLD to goldust40

One of Chandler's best hard boiled noirs. Great Avon GGA nipple cover. Probably by Raymond Johnson.
Fine. Spine is tight with slight slant. Colors are bold, covers are smooth with light wear, mostly to the edges and corners. Foxing, light stains to top of covers. Overall a very nice copy.

A very nice copy of one of the great dystopian classics, the first one I've ever been able to sell as I slightly upgraded mine.
