Hangover Square. Or the Man With Two Minds. A Story of Darkest Earl’s Court in the Year 1939

First American edition. Publisher’s original olive green cloth with black lettering and silver squares. A very good copy in a fair only dust jacket. Some foxing and discolouration to front and rear pastedowns and free endpapers. Black topstain present. A couple of small marks to front board and spine. Clean and unmarked pages. Dust jacket complete and unclipped, but rather worn with some paper loss, especially at head of spine/top left corner of front panel. Tears at head and foot of spine and at flap folds, chipping at fold corners and wrapper edges. A little marked and creased to front panel. *** Patrick Hamilton’s brilliant depiction of London’s underbelly in the last years before the Second World War. A Quinto favourite.
