First Tower Books printing. Inscribed by the author. Blank bookplate; pages yellowing, but they're not brittle; dust jacket chipped and torn. Mainwaring deserves to be better known since he wrote the noir classic Build My Gallows High and the screenplays for Out of the Past, The Big Steal, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and more. Books with his signature are scarce.
