By Dorothy Kilgallen. Kilgallen, in the mix on cases from Sam Sheppard to the assassination of John F. Kennedy to...Sinatra?, was one of the first 500 personages to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and her true-crime writing is now highly sought-after. You have to wonder how the genre would look if she'd stayed in it longer...
This hardcover is a 1967 Book Club Edition. The jacket is browned; some edgewear, and a split to the back bottom flap, as shown. That said, it's protected the boards pretty well to date. The spine has a forward lean as well, and it's pulled the jacket off kilter a bit.
Inside, a previous owner's penciled "credit" on the flyleaf; toning to the pages; no other writing or dog-ears that I could see. Weak hinges where shown, although the pages are holding steady for now.
Overall, not the prettiest (except for Dot herself on the back jacket cover, of course), but will get the job done as a reading copy.
