New York: W.W. Norton & Company. Very Good in Very Good dj. (c.1950). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [cheaply-manufactured book showing wear to boards at all corners and along bottom edge, otherwise a decent clean copy; jacket has a couple of tiny shallow chips, at top of rear panel and top of spine (the latter slightly affecting the author's name)]. INSCRIBED humorously to a friend and SIGNED by the author on the ffep, dated in the year of publication. Satirical novel about a small Mexican fishing village which gets "civilized" (and corrupted) when an American buyer of shark livers comes to town to do business with Domingo Gonzales, "a notorious deadbeat who caught nothing but sharks." The author had previously written three novels (including the justly famous "Detour"), although this fact is curiously unmentioned in the jacket blurb for this book -- which emphasizes his extensive travels about (and two-year residence in) Mexico, while off-handedly noting that "he has done much free-lance writing for magazines and movies." (This is also the only one of his four novels to bear a photograph of its author on the jacket.) Signed by Author .

Chatto & Windus, London, 1934. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. The first English-language edition. 8vo. 295pp. Brown cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt decoration. Cloth a little spotted and with just a trace of wear to several extremities. A touch of spotting to the endpapers and browning to a blank preliminary and concluding leaf, and the publisher's top edge stain just a little patchy. Really quite a nice, crisp copy, lacking the uncommon dust wrapper. The basis for John Huston's magnificent Bogart movie, this Creighton translation precedes Traven's own translation which he produced for the American issue (Knopf, 1935 - the author is on record stating his preference for this version)..

New York: W.W. Norton, 1950. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Illustrated by William de la Torre. Small bookstore label on the front fly, and old tape shadows on the pastedowns where a previous owner had affixed the flaps, else fine in an attractive, very good dustwrapper that has been laminated, has corresponding shadows on the flaps, and has suffered some modest fading at the extremities. The last of the author's four novels, and his only non-mystery. Comic and sly novel about a sleepy Mexican fishing village where the only catch is sharks. The village achieves the luxuries of modern civilization when an American buyer of shark livers moves in. Goldsmith, a novelist and screenwriter, is best known for his classic noir novel *Detour*, which was made into the seminal cult noir film. Very scarce.
