The Scarlet Car

A very good plus copy in the publisher's binding of coarse green cloth, with gilt lettering to the spine and Davis's initials blind stamped to the front board. The binding shows only the lightest wear and is square and tight. The contents are clean and bright showing little sign of ever having been read. The end-papers are uncracked and there are no ownership inscriptions or any other kind of markings.
