Condition: Fine
Description: Woolrich, Cornell [By] William Irish (pseudonym). I MARRIED A DEAD MAN. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott, [1948]. First edition (so stated). A Fine copy in publisher's original purple-gray cloth, spine lettered and stamped in green, in a Near Fine example of the original, priced ($2.75) dust jacket. The DJ has one tiny nick to the spine tip and the rear panel is a bit soiled, but remains fresh, bright and without repair. In our experience, I MARRIED A DEAD MAN is one of Cornell Woolrich's most difficult titles to find in collector's condition. This is certainly the best one we've handled, or indeed seen, in recent years. Source for the 1950 Barbara Stanwyck Paramount Studios Film Noir, directed by Mitchell Leisen, entitled NO MAN OF HER OWN.
