Times Literary Supplement"Klein is a fine stylist, an engaging historian. His account of the way noir shaped the city is strikingly fresh."

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
