Star Rover centers on the mystical experience of a San Quentin inmate in the pre-reform days when straitjackets were widely used as a torturous means of discipline. London based his depiction of straitjacket use at the prison on interviews with a former inmate. Sisson and Martens p. 83ff (illustrated on front cover).

Original pictorial cloth lettered in gilt; dust jacket repeating the frontispiece illustration (minor edge-wear and rubbing, a little reinforcement along foot of spine panel and upper flap fold.
