Grey cloth on boards with dramatic black boxer on cover and black titling on spine. Top edge stained black. Book is tight square and free of markings or flaws other than prior owners signature on FFEP along with date - ""George Pottle 12 December 1929."" The author had a career at the ""The New Yorker"" and wokred as a screenwriter before writing this epic poem/novel about an African-American prize fighter named Pansy Jones who gets ""set-up"" for a loss with a younger boxer. Heavy on the race relations the book was made into an important 1949 film noir directed by Robert Wise and starring Robert Wise and Audrey Totter. The book was very popular resulting in many subsequent printings this 4th printing came out just a few months after the 1st printing stated as October 1928 on copyright page.
