About This Item
New York: Random House, 1958. Hardcover. 8vo. Blue cloth spine with silver lettering and blue paper over boards, pictorial dust jacket. 311pp. Near fine/very good. Faint jacket edgewear. Quite nice and tight first edition of this journalist's first novel -- "The story of a man," touts the jacket front panel, "who spent thousands in 'the best places' while his wife pinched pennies at home in suburbia." On the title page, which is lined to look like an expense account slip, the author boldly inscribes and signs "Charge Luke Carroll / With best wishes, / Joe" in teal blue ink. Luke P. Carroll, 1916-82, served as managing editor of "The New York Herald Tribune" and "Chicago's American" before becoming editor of "Chicago Today" in 1968 -- so likely knew the newspaperman/author from any of the above gigs. An intriguing oddity.
