Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Our author here was well-known for her first two books which are considered early examples of classic lesbian fiction. This one is about a woman who turns to prostitution when her boyfriend is sent to prison in San Francisco for a crime he did not commit. Please find: No Letters for the Dead by Gale Wilhelm. This small hard cover book (4 ½ x 7 ½ inches 212 pages) was published by Random House of New York dated 1936 and the First Edition. The book is bound in salmon red cloth with a black leather title band across the upper boards with gilt titles on cover and spine. This book is written in chapter-like segments with no titling or a Table of Contents. There are no illustrations. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are faded particularly along the spine and with a thin band along the top of the rear board. The leather title band is still bright and attractive. Inside the former owner has left her name and date on the front endpaper but this is the only mark I found in the book. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [solid copy, some dust-darkening to top edge of text block, browning to spine cloth and paper spine label; halftone photograph of the very mannish-looking author neatly affixed to front pastedown, one-time owner's signature and date at bottom of ffep]. A "straight" novel, you might say, by an author whose somewhat slender literary reputation rests almost entirely on two of her earlier, lesbian-themed works, We Too Are Drifting (1935) and Torchlight to Valhalla (1938). The plot here concerns the love between Carol and Hans -- "Carol, sophisticated, exquisitely beautiful, with a fearless, cool mind that faced every reality, had known many men but never before loved. Hans, almost a hermit, bitter, haunted by a tragic secret, was only as honest as a romantic can be." (Whatever that's supposed to mean; do they mean "honest as only a romantic can be"? I'll bet he's not all that honest about that "tragic secret" thing.) [These quotes are from the dust jacket, by the way, which is NOT present on this particular copy of the book.].

"Gale Wilhelm's writing career is an extraordinary example of a successful lesbian writer in the American mass market. Her novels, six in all, were published at major publishing companies and reprinted several times from 1936 until 1985. They received favorable reviews in several national magazines at the time of their publication. Only two of her six novels featured lesbian relationships, and interestingly, they are the two with the longest printing history. [In WE TOO ARE DRIFTING, Wilhelm's first novel] Jan Morale, a woodcut artist and self-identified lesbian, is initially involved with a married woman and then falls in love with Victoria who is engaged to be married. The novel ends sadly, as Victoria chooses to marry rather than stay with Jan." [GAY & LESBIAN BIOGRAPHY, 1997].

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair dj. First Edition. [modest shelfwear to book; includes the rare and fragile original acetate dust jacket and both dust jacket flaps; see Notes for additional details and condition information]. The author's second book, often described as an epistolary novel, although strictly speaking it's not, although it does quote quite often from letters exchanged by the principals. The story has to do with "a normal young woman who drifts into prostitution, a victim of uncontrollable circumstances." (Her married lover has been found complicit in the suicide death of his wife and the subsequent death of their child, and has been sentenced to San Quentin.) (The first paragraph of the jacket blurb refers to the author's first novel, "We Too Are Drifting," calling it a "frank and unashamed story of the love of three women" -- which probably explains why they felt compelled to then describe the heroine of this novel as "normal.") The dust jacket on this book is of unusual design, consisting of three elements: (1) a wrap-around paper band, partially printed on foil, bearing the author's name and the book title on the front and a large Random House logo on the rear, and covering about one-third of the book's exterior; (2) a clear (and quite thin) acetate overlay, covering the entire book (although now somewhat shrunken with age); and (3) two normal jacket flaps, printed on foil, the front with a blurb about the book, the rear with the author's portrait photo and a one-paragraph biography. Both flaps appear to have been attached to and covered by the acetate (the rear flap is still attached, but just barely; the front is loose, but effectively held in place by the acetate). NOTE that the acetate is rather badly torn at the rear; I have left it in place, but have also covered the entirety of the book and jacket with a NEW custom-cut protective mylar overlay. (The two flaps are shown in the second scanned image accompanying this listing.).
