VG. 1943 Bestseller Mystery B74, first printing. Digest sized softcover. Very rare issue – in fact all the initial releases of Laura seem to be nearly impossible to find. Aside from the elusive hardcover first edition, this is next in line as far as releases go, and it is the first softcover issue. Basis for the classic Otto Preminger film version, starring Dana Andrews (in his second best role after ‘Curse Of The Demon’), Gene Tierney and Vincent Price.
