First edition, octavo; rebound in gilt-tooled full black morocco, inner dentelles stamped with a floral motif, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt (minor thumbing; boards bowing very slightly); 7 1/4 x 4 3/4 in.
In his fifth novel, The Thin Man, Dashiell Hammett diverges from his standard hardboiled style and introduces the charismatic amateur detective duo, Nick and Nora Charles. Their glamor, witty repartee, and keen investigative skills were immensely popular with readers and critics alike.
