Description: First paperback edition of New York: Confidential, by Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer (Dell, 1950). Published as part of the Dell mapback series, with a map of midtown Manhattan on the rear cover. Lait and Mortimer wrote four books in their Confidential series, but this was the first. The book is intended a travel guide to the seedier aspects of life in New York, including brothels, gay clubs, and so-called "reefer parties." Controversial when it was first published, the book is now a fabulous historical document of the "real" New York in the middle of the 20th century. This book is in very good condition, with a tight spine and no rips, tears, marks, or other major signs of wear.
