"Marihuana is a novella by Cornell Woolrich(one of the best crime writers of his time), published under the pen-name William Irish. The story is about a man who goes on a murder spree after being exposed to marijuana for the first time."

One of the most desirable of all the Dell 10-cent Books. Volume 11. First separate printing of the book that was originally printed in Detective Fiction Weekly in May, 1941.


The famously lurid cover art was created by the artist Bill Fleming.


This highly collectible and very scarce edition is in good vintage pulp paperback condition.


Original stapled wraps. Some wear to spine and edges. Pages are intact and unmarked. Age tanning to the pages with some foxing in places. A couple of damp stains, one on the bottom - one on the top. The back cover has slightly popped around the staples, but is still intact.

A nice surviving example of a book now made famous by t-shirts, posters, mugs, even fridge magnets adorned with this classic cover art.
