The Man Who Was Nobody. Edgar Wallace. 1927 First Edition. Very rare with original dust jacket! Mint condition.

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875 – 1932) was an English crime writer, journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and playwright, who wrote 175 novels, 24 plays, and numerous articles in newspapers and journals. Over 160 films have been made of his novels. In the 1920s, one of Wallace's publishers claimed that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him.[1] He is most famous today as the co-creator of "King Kong", having written the early screenplay and story for the movie, as well as a short story "King Kong" (1933) credited to him and Draycott Dell.

Condition: Fine+/Fine. Dust jacket is price clipped and spine is slightly sunned. Endpapers of book are browned with age and small ink mark on bottom edge (NOT remainder mark). Otherwise you will not find a finer copy of this scarce book! Please view all photos as they give an accurate description of the condition.
