Descripción del artículo del vendedor

1930. Presumed first UK edition, with a preface by Richard Church. [v], 254pp. and a frontispiece portrait. Danny Ahearn (1901-1960) was the oldest of nine children. In 1926 he was wounded in a gun battle in Brooklyn where two men were killed, and in 1934 he received 2 ½ years in New York's notorious Sing Sing Prison for fraud—his second term there also for fraud came in 1937. Though not a writer of any sort—he was, in fact, a career criminal at this time. Later on he would be a reporter for The Daily Worker and several newspapers, as well as script writer for Warner Brothers in Hollywood in 1932-33. At 45 years of age, he was sentenced to 20 years to life for robbery. This book, narrated by Danny Ahearn, was first published in the USA under the title 'How to Commit a Murder'. It is a career criminal's "how to" guide for the uninitiated, crimes certainly not limited to murder. Chapter titles include: How to Rob a Jewelry Store, How to Stick Up a Fur Joint, Straight Stickups, How to Run a Crap Game, Pulling a Phony Pinch, Beating a Frameup, and How to Commit a Murder. The book is bound in the original black cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling to the boards and fading along the top 1 1/4" of the front board. There is wear with a little bit of damage to the cloth on the corner tips and about 1/4" of damage to the cloth on the fore edge of the front board. Both spine ends are bumped with some damage and a little loss to the cloth. The contents are tight and clean with slight age-browning to the page margins and a name and address has been written in pencil on the front free endpaper. The front fixed endpaper bears the attractive "seahorses" bookplate of F. [Fryniwyd] Tennyson Jesse, an English journalist, author and criminologist.…
