By Dean Lipton. “The Historical Impact of the Genius-Criminal.” A 1970 compendium of brilliant criminals, inspired by the “discussion” around Caryl Chessman, and including Paul Verlaine, O. Henry, Jack London, and others.
The jacket of this hardcover is a bit down at heel, as shown — some notches and creasing; toning — but inside, despite mild toning and a previous owner’s name on the flyleaf, it’s clean and neat. A fine vintage pickup.
