All digitally remastered dustjackets are shipped in a removable, Brodart or Demco archival dustjacket protector, and are ready to place on your book. Due to the scarcity of this dustjacket, I have added an embossed digital watermark to these images to avoid unauthorized duplication. The embossed watermark will NOT appear over the artwork on the front panel. The counter-stamps identifying this as a reproduction WILL appear discretely on the flaps only. About Dustjackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine which far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results. About Title: Here is the latest and most amazing of Dashiell Hammett's stories of crime and mystery. It takes you among the politicians, bosses, gamblers, yeggs and gunmen of a machine bossed city. It opens with the murder of a senator's son and follows the progress of Ned Beaumont, gambler and friend of the boss politician, in tracking down the murderer. The trail he follows is brutal, violent and breath-taking. Before he is done he has smashed a gang faction and given the city officials a bad case of the shakes. And his results are as astonishing as his swift, harsh, and astounding methods. About Author: Dashiell Hammett [1894-1961] was a popular mystery author of the 1930s.
