Book First Edition
Pictorial Wrappers. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 1st US edition. [Originally published by John Westhouse Ltd., London, 1945] First Dover Edition. New unread copy featuring Prof. John Stubbs; Scotland; Academia. Campbell is the pen name of the eminent art critic, poet and fantasy novelist Ruthven Campbell Todd (1914-1978). Professor John Stubbs is the eccentric amateur investigating murder at an international conference of geneticists. He is reminiscent somewhat of Gervase Fen, or Dr.Fell. Stubbs is a fan of locked room mysteries, particularly those of JD Carr, but the first murder here is the opposite, taking place in an open laboratory to which there was unfettered access. An infamous fraud is poisoned at a gathering of geneticists and the possible killer includes a dozen vindictive former assistants and humiliated colleagues. The gallery of suspects ranges from a brash American, Dr. Swartz, and the victim's sniveling associate, Professor Silver, to a lovely young genetics student, Miss Mary Lewis, and even Stubbs' nephew, a reporter covering the convention. The novel's brisk pace, witty dialogue, and flavorful recreation of English university life during the mid-twentieth century combine to form an exciting and amusing page-turner. Book.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine / Near Fine. Limited edition. Octavo, 9.5 in. x 6.25 in., pp. 206. Limited edition #149/300. Black cloth boards with gilt title to spine. Unmarked interior. Protected in mylar. First published in 1946 by John Westhouse (Publishers). This is the first re-publication. Ruthven Campbell Todd (1914-1978) was a Scottish scholar, poet and author, in US from 1947-1958, and then Majorca; his most important nonfiction work, Tracks in the Snow: Studies in English Science and Art (1946), effectively argued the imaginative power - when conjoined - of the two subtitled categories, instancing at length the work of William Blake (1748-1827) and John Martin; as R T Campbell, he wrote several detective novels, beginning with Unholy Dying (1945) [none contain fantastic elements, and are not listed below]; and as Todd, two metaphysical tales, both labouring under the 1930s misconception that Franz Kafka wrote allegories. The quest plot of Over the Mountain (1939), which takes its protagonist into a kind of Lost World, is heavily consanguinous with a search for political self-understanding; the protagonist of the surrealist The Lost Traveller (1943), stranded (perhaps posthumously) in a strange Dystopia, finds himself ordered to quest for a brace of auks, becoming - at the moment of his (final?) death - one himself. In his introduction to the 1968 reprinting of the latter, Todd recognized influences from Wyndham Lewis to Rex Warner. The Space Cats sequence for children, beginning with Space Cat (1952), features a runaway Cat who stows away on a Spaceship. (from Encyclopedia of Science Fiction).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition.A FINE book ( a couple of tiny dings to bottom edge of boards) in a NEAR FINE ( light age soiling to white rear panel and the usual fade to spine) dust jacket. This publisher , at the time, had ,IMHO, the absolute worst jacket designs ! BUT it is "a locked room mystery about a book collector who discovers the body of a book seller in the private office of his bookshop." ( ref. "Bibliomysteries" by Otto Penzler) Uncommon especially in nice condition !.
