Description: Newstand Library U122 - THE TENEMENT KID - by Karl Edd First Printing October, 1959 from back cover: "So what's a guy to do when he grows upon in a neighborhood like this? The code for survival is clear-cut violence, sex and the fast buck. A guy doesn't live up to the code he takes a chance on not living at all." A clean Very Good+ to Near Fine copy of this late 1950s juvenile delinquent title. The outer covers are bright, with vivid colors, showing only faint soiling to white and yellow covers and light chipping to the bottom of the spine. What appears as a crease on roughly 1/3 of the upper spine is from the binding process. This is an unread copy. The interior front and rear covers remain bright and clean. The text shows aging - more so on the upper and lower page edges. Though the binding is tight and square with supple pages. Overall, an excellent example of this early JD novel.from front cover:"Unwatched and unwanted, kids spawned from drunken orgies throng the streets. They live by their own code, respect only the law of the knife and the knuckle, and the whore is there emblem of womanhood..."
