[Los Angeles]: [George Yamada], [c.1950]
While the original edition of Into the Night Life was published in 1947, this book contains a
quote from an article dated Dec. 1949, so it was likely printed c.1950. The opening statement
reads, “The purpose of this publication is to give you the salient features of Into the Night
Life - how it was made, what it is about, its role in book production - together with a few
testimonials from individuals qualified to appraise its merits.” Fine. Scarce.
