Almanac of World Crime

By Jay Robert Nash. All the handy crime-dictionary facts of most Nash output, but slightly easier to lift at "only" two pounds. The dust jacket has seen better days: big tears, little tears, flakes, stickers, and a bent inside back flap. But it did its job protecting the book itself, which aside from a bumped top spine is in fine shape, mild toning, pages square and tight...so maybe you just want to chuck the jacket.
