Softcover. Zustand: Very Good+. 1st printing thus. [light edgewear only, tiny split in binding at top front hinge]. (Bestseller Mystery, No. B143) Series About as nice a copy of this title (or any in the cheaply-produced and very wear-prone "Bestseller Mystery" series, for that matter) as you're likely to find. Contemporaneous digest-size reprint of Fuller's breakthrough novel, a slam-bang mystery set in the New York tabloid milieu where the screenwriter/director had cut his pulp-narrative teeth. The book was filmed as SCANDAL SHEET by Phil Karlson in 1952, while Fuller himself was simultaneously at work on his own personal paean to the newspaper biz, PARK ROW. This was the only printing of "The Dark Page" under this alternate title.

Stapled wraps. Zustand: Good. First Edition Thus. [Good only, a well-worn copy with heavy spine roll, edgewear, soiling along right edge of front cover, typical signs of aging to cheap paper]. This newspaper/mystery yarn, which draws upon future film director Sam Fuller's youthful experience as a copy boy and crime reporter, is one of the more notable ASEs due to the special place it holds in the personal chronicle of its author, who was serving in the U.S. Army in Europe at the time of its publication; by Fuller's own account, he first encountered his book in print in this very edition -- in France, shortly after D-Day, when he saw another G.I. reading a copy, an incident he later incorporated into both the book and film versions of his WWII epic "The Big Red One" (re-titling the book "The Dark Deadline" therein). He claimed to have left the first draft of the novel with his mother before he shipped out -- intending to revise and polish it after the war -- and she had proceeded to make the deal for its publication (the hardcover edition was issued by Duell, Sloan & Pearce). (The book also served as the basis for the 1952 movie SCANDAL SHEET, directed by Phil Karlson.) Judging from the condition of this particular copy, I don't think it's much of a stretch to assume it spent some time riding around in the pocket of one or more American soldiers, which of course was the entire purpose of the Armed Services Editions.
