White Plains: Balletto-Sweetman, Inc., 1941. Full Cloth. No Jacket. Photograph. Bound in green cloth with titles in silver. 136 pages. Frontispiece photo of the author. Ex-library from BoysTown, Nebraska, with an old bookplate to the front pastedown, stamps to the text block edges and page 99, and card pocket / date due material to the rear endpapers. No marks to the cloth. At a quick glance it appears to a crime novel, with characters traveling back and forth across the Atlantic. Two leaves corner chipped, with no loss of text. The front cover does have some creasing, but the hinges are solid and the binding is square. Quite scarce (as is anything by this publisher), and apparently the author's only book. Not in Hubin (1984).
