Brighton Rock
Graham Greene, 1938
GREENE, Graham (1904-1991). Brighton Rock. New York: The Viking Press, 1938.

A fine copy of the first edition, preserving the original dust jacket and the scarce wrap-around band. The American edition was published in June, one month before the London edition by Heinemann. “Brighton Rock is his most successful attempt to create a work that is as fast-paced as a thriller and as complex as a more leisurely character study. It deals with the racecourse gangs who created havoc in Brighton during the 1930s and is an exciting story of murder and duplicity in the underworld” (ODNB). The wrap-around band notes, "This is one of the first edition copies distributed in advance of publication exclusively to The Preview Associates."

Octavo. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket and wrap-around band (a little very minor soiling and rubbing at extremities, a couple short closed tears); custom box.
