[pseud. WARD, Arthur Henry] ROHMER, Sax

White Velvet

New York: Doubleday, Doran, 1936


8vo, pp. 337. Original yellow boards, lettered in black and white-on-black to spine. Illustrated dust jacket. Cream endpapers, top edge yellow, leading and lower edges uncut. Spine ends a little bumped, but a near fine copy in a very good dustwrapper, a little edgeworn and with slome light chipping to spine ends.


First edition, published in the UK later the same year. Set in Istanbul, a reporter tries to smash an international drugs ring.

Rohmer first wrote White Velvet as a screenplay. He rewrote the script as a novel having become disenchanted with movies when he saw other writers -- his friend P.G. Wodehouse among them -- being short-changed and under-used by the Hollywood system.

An excellent copy, with none of the usual fading to the spine.
