Temple Field aka Raoul Whitfield

Field, Temple (pseudonym of Raoul Whitfield). KILLERS’ CARNIVAL. New York: Farrar & Rinehart Incorporated Publishers, [1932]. Octavo, pp. [1-10] 1-274 [275-278: blank], publisher’s red cloth stamped in black, top edge stained gray, other edges rough trimmed. First edition. A violent tough guy novel of murder and revenge on the mean streets of New York City, first published in six parts in BLACK MASK. The dedication is one of the best in hard-boiled fiction: “This book is warningly dedicated to all them fellers whose rackets are so tough they figure guns are sweeter things to pack around then umbrellas.” Hubin, p. 282. A clean, tight, very good copy in price-clipped dust jacket with wear and shallow fraying and short tear, several with small internal tape mends, along top and bottom edges. Quite presentable overall. From the library of a well-known mystery writer with his library stamp on the front paste-down.
