A Very Good copy, with Dust Jacket, of the First Printing of Address Unknown, by Kressmann Taylor (1903-1996).  Originally published in Story Magazine, the story was so sensationally successful that Simon and Schuster brought it out in a hardcover edition the following year.

Written as an exchange of letters between two friends, the story brought German Nazism to the attention and imagination of the American reading public.  

Bookplate at front pastedown of Robert R. Zeimer (1932-2016) of Costa Mesa, CA.  Bookseller sticker at back cover is from Newbegin's in San Francisco.
