OTTO PENZLER

Publication: The Mysterious Bookshop, 2022, New York

First edition. 8vo. Perfect bound, color pictorial, stiff wrappers, [6], 69 pp., introduction, illustrated in color. Otto Penzler's four page "Introduction" provides an excellent and thorough understanding of noir fiction, which, in our opinion, is worth the price of the volume alone. The Mysterious Bookshop has produced an illustrated, annotated catalogue of books that inspired films noir—more than 200 first editions, movie tie-ins, and other interesting editions are reviewed. There are brief plot synopses as well as information about the motion picture based on the book. As new, unread copy. This is a booklet that should be read by all lovers of mystery fiction.
