Peyton Place by Grace Metalious 

VINTAGE PAPERBACK [1957] DELL BOOKS

Cute little vintage paperback in very good condition.  Cover and binding are excellent with minimal wear.  Water stain to bottom of blue text block.  A few dog eared pages and a handful of pages with some blue bleeding to margin [see last 2 photos].  Otherwise, excellent.  

First published in 1956, Peyton Place uncovers the passions, lies and cruelties that simmer beneath the surface of a postcard-perfect town. At the centre of the novel are three women, each with a secret to hide: Constance MacKenzie, the original desperate housewife; her daughter Allison, whose dreams are stifled by small-town small-mindedness; and Selena Cross, her gypsy-eyed friend from the wrong side of the tracks.
