Kiss My Fist James Hadley Chase Eton Books E112 CLASSIC Hard Boiled GGA cover

Stated Second Printing, May 1952

Near Fine. Solid square spine, great color and gloss. Light edgewear, a few tiny creases. Tiny dot on bottom cover. Pages are creamy and supple. Minimal toning. A very pretty copy of a very tough vintage paperback.


An excellent copy of the hardest boiled title/cover art combination in American Paperbacks. Difficult in any condition.

The incredible violent GGA cover is uncredited to date but definitely in the Avon style paced by Raymond Johnson in the early 1950's. The Eton line was Avon's attempt to match Signet's tall format. They suffer from terrible spine and spine glue problems and are often falling apart.
