New York: Crown Publishers, 1945. First Edition. First Edition. Not to be confused with the later Crown collection of Ben Hecht's writings titled "A Treasury of Ben Hecht: Collected Stories and Other Writings," published 14 years later in 1959. With introductory notes by the author. An exceptional copy, extremely scarce thus.
The only appearance in print of Ben Hecht's short story "Specter of the Rose," basis for the surreal 1946 film noir-the only film both written and directed by Hecht.
Light offsetting on the endpapers, else about Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket.
The Dark Page I: 1940-1949, p. 138.
