CAB Comment––This rare Tower Books movie tie-in edition is hard to come by with any dust-jacket at all. Admittedly a bit rough around the edges, the jacket art is fascinating and a great find for fans of the relative film, “Lady Of Burlesque”, starring Barbara Stanwyck. And what lover of underworld noir can’t find a warm place in their heart for a murder novel written by the iconic Gypsy Rose Lee? Especially with an opening line like this––“Finding dead bodies scattered all over a burlesque theater isn’t the sort of thing you’re likely to forget.” OK, I’m in! The dust-jacket is now protected in a brand new BroDart archival cover.
“The G-String Murders”––Amazon Synopsis:
“A mystery set in the underworld of burlesque theater, The G-String Murders was penned in 1941 by the legendary queen of the stripteasers—the witty and wisecracking Gypsy Rose Lee. Narrating a twisted tale of a backstage double murder, Lee provides a fascinating look behind the scenes of burlesque, richly populated by the likes of strippers Lolita LaVerne and Gee Gee Graham, comic Biff Brannigan and Siggy the g-string salesman. This is a world where women struggle to earn a living performing bumps and grinds, have gangster boyfriends, sip beer between acts and pay their own way at dinner.”

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.
Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you. Every book with a dust jacket has been carefully placed in a BroDart protective archival cover. All sales are final.
