Barry, Jerome Murder with Your Malted
Garden City, NY Doubleday, Doran & Co. (Crime Club) 1941 First Edition (stated) Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket
Hardback in dust jacket, First edition (stated), 1941, Crime Club series by Doubleday, Doran & Co. This book is the first full-length mystery story by a writer whose short stories had become popular in the "slick" paper magazines. To the fascination of a behind-the-scenes account of a large metropolitan drug and lunch store the author added the suspense of threatening letters from a dead man, symphathetic interest of a pleasantly told love story, and the wise-cracking, up-to-the-minute Broadway sophistication of a soda-jerker narrator. The book is sprinkled with the jargon of the soda-fountain trade, but looses nothing in the way of suspense. Clean and bright inside, no foxing or soiling. "Library discard" stamped on front free endpaper, although book was never a library book (this was an interesting hobby of the volunteers at our library, where they stamped EVERY book for the library sale, not just former library books...now thankfully discontinued). Attractive bookplate on front pasted down endpaper, mostly hidden by flap of d.j. Black coated covers are clean and bright, very slightly bumped at front tips. Red title on spine of book bright. Slight spine slant. The d.j. is lightly chipped at top of spine, rubbed along edges, has crease and closed tear at base of front panel (healed in Brodart), slight rubbing to rear panel. Flap is not price-clipped but has light ghostly offset of that pesky discard stamp. Overall VG+/near VG.
