The Dim View by Basil Heatter ~ Signet Books #668, April 1949. Typical vintage American mass market paperback. 155 pages. 25¢ retail price (not printed on the cover).

Light wear, very minor hinge creases, number on cover in grease pencil, very good. Unbroken spine. Previous dealer's price inside in pencil. As always, grading of vintage paperbacks is subjective so check out my scan and be sure this copy would have a home in your collection before bidding or buying.

Vintage popular priced books, paperbacks and magazines are subject to aging of the cheap internal paper, weakness or drying of the spine glue resulting in occasional loose pages, rusting of staples, and loss of original lamination (particularly early Dells). Previous bookseller's prices written lightly inside are typical and not considered a defect. I do not consider names written or stamped inside the book/magazine to be a serious defect but I note them if they are present. I do consider tape of any kind to be a serious defect and will only offer items with tape defects if they are particularly scarce or desirable.
