Large 12mo. 202 pp.  Hardcover bound in green cloth lettered in black.  The American lawyer and author, famed for his Perry Mason series, has signed and inscribed: “Inscribed by the author at the request of Dr. R.B.H. Gradwohl who furnished the interesting idea on which the plot is founded. / Yours, Erle Stanley Gardner / Christmas 1952” to the front endpaper;  Dr. Gradwohl, one of the early pioneers in the field of forensics, has inscribed "To Bernie and Viv Schram, / With my warmest Xmas greetings / R.

The Case of the Grinning Gorilla is yet another installment in Erle Stanley Gardner’s epic Perry Mason series.  After successfully bidding for the personal effects of Helen Cadmus at an auction, Mason finds himself getting drawn deeper and deeper into strange events.  What could be stranger than being hunted by a grinning gorilla?  Gardner turned the character Perry Mason into a successful TV series as well.  Dr. R B H Gradwohl, a famous forensic expert in the first half of the 20th century, was one of the founders of The American Academy of Forensic Sciences and supplied the foreword of The Case of the Grinning Gorilla.  He even gets a mention (as himself) in the story.
