MOTLEY, WILLARD — Knock On Any Door
Appleton Century-Crofts. 1947, 1st Edition. Hardcover. First edition (NAP). Gray cloth, purple titles. A powerful novel of lost dreams that was the basis for a film directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Humphrey Bogart. Book very good with several cellotape remnants to pastedowns from old-style Brodart. DJ likewise very good with just a bit of edgewear at spine-ends, one surface tear and tape remnant to flaps. Altogether, a nice copy of this classic American novel. 503 pp. Very Good/Very Good.
