Lot 186 | Little Caesar.
Estimate value
$ 1 000 – 2 000
W.R. Burnett, 1929
BURNETT, W.R. (1899-1982). Little Caesar. New York: Dial, 1929.
First edition of the author's first book, in an attractive example of the dust jacket. The Literary Guild, a contemporary book club, issued their own edition shortly after the first, and that issue is often mistakenly thought to be the first edition. Little Caesar was the basis for the film the following year that gave Edward G. Robinson his breakout role and popularized the genre of gangster films.
Octavo. Original cloth, pictorial dust jacket (light blue portions of panels a little darkened, some light edgewear).
