1930np. Orange wood cuts designed and printed by Kam Young Wong. Wide margins. Uncut. Square 8vo. Original cloth backed patterned paper boards. Original paper label. Hardbound. Printed in a very small edition by Kam Young Wong. Short story about a man of modest means who comes into a small inheritance that "impelled him towards some seemingly harmless extravagances. In particular it led him to patronize local art as represented by the tattoo-needles of Signor Andreas Pincini. Signor Pincini was, perhaps, the most brilliant master of tattoo craft that Italy had ever known, but his circumstances were decidedly impoverished, and for the sum of six hundred francs he gladly undertook to cover his client's back, from collar-bone down to waist-line, with a glowing representation of the Fall of Icarus." Nice copy. PRESS/W32 x 2c.

Hardcover. lacking the original dust jacket but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing general shelfwear and some deterioration to cloth at base of spine but generally a good sound copy. 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.
