I'm sitting here trying to remember what is called exactly. I owned it once, I bought it at an estate sale for 50 cents. Then I lost it. My cousin found it at a used book store in LA recently and it was $3500. Apparently, it's ultra rare. Anyway, not the best info for you but something to guide you I hope. I know it was written in the 40s or 50s... I think I have heard of a book like that. I'm sitting here trying to remember what is called exactly.
