GREAT SMITH by Edison Marshall Dell Books, Second Paperback Printing, 1952 Condition: About Very Good Despite a suggestive cover and squibs like "Love slave to a Turkish beauty" & "Magnificent lusty love-making", this is not sleaze. Marshall was a popular historical novelist of his time, and this is a fictional version of the Captain John Smith/Pocahantas story. The only previous pb printing was an Armed Services Edition in the '40s. This is a surprisingly solid book for its age and thickness (447 pages). Just a moderate spine lean, reading creases & light wear on the extremities, including a small light corner crease. The binding is secure and there are no markings .
