About This Item
Stated first edition. No dust jacket. Black fabric covered boards with silver print on the spine. The cover shows a bit of damage, possibly from water, on the lower 5 cm of the spine (see photo #4). This water does not appear to have reached the pages. The spine is cocked slightly. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. The top page edges are stained orange, which goes with the orange endpapers and chapter headings. The binding is solid, with no splits. This book was made into a movie in 1956, starring Elizabeth Taylor, James Dean and Rock Hudson.

About Turtleman Used Books
Opened August 1st of 2022, Turtleman Used Books in Olympia, WA. Address is 108 22nd Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98501. Suite #4. This is a small shop, so some books may only be displayed online, others only displayed in the store. Come on by if you are in town. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily. Check back frequently to see what's new. -----
