How to Commit a Murder

New York: Ives Washburn 1930.

$450.00

First edition. A small erasure on the front fly else fine in a price-clipped, very good dustwrapper with small chips at the extremities, and the folds internally mended with archival tape. A non-fiction how-to about committing major crimes, by a gangster and ex-con. Also includes helpful hints on robbing jewelry and fur stores, dope dealing, and much, much more. Some of Ahearn's stories were used by Hollywood as the basis for the films Escape from Crime (1942) and Bulldog Edition (1936*).
