About This Item
Alfred A. Knopf, 1998. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good DJ. First printing, near fine hardcover is tight and clean while showing just a touch of wear, in very good + dust jacket (price at flap) that shows lighgt shelf wear including a small closed tear and bit of wrinkle at top corner of front panel. 432 pages with index and black & white illustrations. Still a pleasing copy of this work that examines the murder and sensationalism surrounding the death of a young New York City prostitute in the 1830s.
