2 Burnett, W.R. Nobody Lives Forever (Motion Picture Edition)
Cleveland/New York The World Publishing Company 1945 (c.1943) 1st printing thus Hardcover Good+ in Poor dj  
(partial dust jacket) [book is solid enough, with its bottom corners bumped and the typical browning of pages often seen in these cheap editions; the jacket, however, is a total mess, with the rear panel and rear flap totally gone, the spine in tatters, and the front panel heavily rubbed, soiled, etc.]. (B&W photographs) Movie tie-in edition, with a front-panel photo-illustration of John Garfield and Faye Emerson, four black-and-white scenes from the film bound into the text (printed back-to-back on two pages), and photo-montage endpapers. Bargain-priced due to its marginal condition, and don't say I didn't warn you.

3 Lait, Jack; adapted from the original motion picture story of W.R. Burnett The Beast of the City [Photoplay Edition]
New York Grosset & Dunlap (c.1932) First Edition Hardcover Very Good+ 
(no dust jacket) [solid copy, very slight fraying to bottom corners, spine cloth a bit darkened, light soiling to page edges]. (4 B&W film stills) Novelization of the 1932 film starring Jean Harlow (who appears in all four of the stills illustrating the text), a gangster tale that was about as down-and-urban-gritty as M-G-M ever got. (Warner Bros. was the more natural habitat for this sort of picture.) The film represented one of Burnett's earliest Hollywood story credits, the actual dialogue being supplied by John Lee Mahin, himself no slouch in the hard-boiled department. A terrific feature of this book is an 18-page "Underworld Glossary," with definitions and even occasionally etymological mini-essays for several hundred terms, some of them fabulously arcane. (Bet you don't know what it means to "Norton-and-Egan" somebody; just hope it never happens to you.)
