Cain, James M. Cain X 3
New York Knopf 1969 First Edition Cloth
Very Good+ in a Very Good dustjacket. Bound in full black cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt; the front panel in metallic green. Octavo. viii + 465pps. New Inrtoduction by Tom Wolfe. First Collected Edition (not to be confused with the much more common book club issue: there is no book club slug on the rear panel). There is mild bumping to the spine-ends and faint touches of dustspotting to the fore-edge. Also, the publisher's red 'H' stamp (remaindered?) is on the ffep. Otherwise clean, bright, and soundly bound. No previous ownership markings. The price-clipped dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has modest general edgewear and a light touches of soiling. A nice, collectible copy. Assembles three of Cain's classic novels: 'The Postman Always Rings Twice,' 'Mildred Pierce,' and 'Double Indemnity.'

Cain, James M. The Postman Always Rings Twice
New York Knopf 1945 Cloth
Very Good in a Near Fine dustjacket. Bound in full orange cloth. Both the spine and the decorative front board are stamped in blue. Blue topstain. 188pps. Stated Fourth Printing, February 1934: issued the same month as the first edition. There is a faint touch of sunning in the area of the spine and a 3/8" tear in the cloth at the heel of the spine; rubbing wear, also, at the lower tips. Internally, there is modest reading wear and the very sporadic fox-mark. The binding is sound and square. No previous ownership markings or inscriptions. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has been married to the volume: it is actually from the Grosset & Dunlap re-print and has the same front-cover artwork. It is, nonetheless, in very nice shape with only a closed tear at the heel of the spine and a faint bit of toning to the rear white panel; no chips, soiling, or (other) tears.
"...An amoral young tramp. A beautiful, sullen woman with an inconvenient husband. A problem that has only one grisly solution—a solution that only creates other problems that no one can ever solve.
First published in 1934 and banned in Boston for its explosive mixture of violence and eroticism, 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' is a classic of the roman noir. It established James M. Cain as a major novelist with an unsparing vision of America's bleak underside, and was acknowledged by Albert Camus as the model for 'The Stranger'..."
