Max Miller was a lonely reporter on the waterfront beat for six years when he first typed, I have been here so long that even the seagulls must recognize me.... That was more than 70 years ago, and while the country was in the depths of the Depression, I Cover the Waterfront made a quiet initial appearance. Neither the 28-year-old author nor his publisher expected much from a series of simple strung-together real-life tales. But there was something about Miller's writing that created a kind of magic. It went on to sell millions of copies.

Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. First edition. Front fly lacking, modest soiling on boards, a good or better copy in good dustwrapper with some chipping and toning. Bookplate of noted collector Ingle Barr on front pastedown. Inscribed by Miller to Barr, taking into account the apparent scarcity of the book: "To You, Ingle Barr-and, Jesus, how I'd like to buy this from you. How about a deal? Max Miller." Something of a pioneer book of reportage, Miller covered the San Diego waterfront for years. Basis for the James Cruze film featuring Claudette Colbert as the love interest of Ben Lyon, a reporter out to expose smuggling.
