Item description

STRIP FOR MURDER By Richard S. Prather. Greenwich, Conn.: A Fawcett Gold Medal Book, (1955). First McGinnis cover art edition; paperback. This "Shell Scott Gets Down To Bare Facts" with sensual cover art by the sought-after hard boiled book illustrator Robert McGinnis, is more elusive than the paperback original first edition. Private detective Shell Scott is hired to find a killer in a nudist colony. A well-preserved collectible copy. Very slight spine lean, a touch of age-toning near the spine joints as usual, else firm, solid and near fine to fine in glossy stiff-card wraps with front cover art by Bob McGinnis depicting the artist's trademark red-head standing bottomless--and soon to be topless-in a rustic stream; original printed code M3220 and 95c price still intact to the front cover; all page edges yellow. Mass market paperback. PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT PAPERBACK COLLECTIBLE BOOKS THANKS!
