WOMAN OF ROME, Alberto Moravia, 1st PB edition, Avati cover

Signet Giant #S-844, 1951. First edition thus. Highly regarded mainstream novel about a gorgeous Italian woman who is forced to sell her body but retains her dignity. Cover sports an early painting by the great realist James Avati, whose PB covers not only made him one of the most in-demand artists in the business but inspired a legion of imitators during the ’50s. Condition: As New. Just as if it rolled off the presses yesterday. Spotless, unread, white pages.
