Red cloth with gilt lettering and frame. Some corner bumps and light wear but overall a solid VG to VG+ copy, still square and securely bound. This is a stated "7th Edition," though I think in actuality it is the 7th Printing. Micheaux, one of the great early African-American filmmakers was also an accomplished novelist. This story, set in WWII, focusses on black Nazi spies and sinister German plots. There's even a bit about making movies. ; Color Frontispiece; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 519 pages View more info
