About this Item

A really rare soft cover galley proof of this 1966 Hercule Poirot story which precedes the first edition, first impression issued by Collins Crime Club. Very few of these flimsy, "no frills" soft back books were printed, using very thin paper for use by reviewers and certain booksellers in advance of the publication of the dustwrappered hardback book. Octavo, measures 19.5 cm x 14.5 cm x 1.4 cm. Perfect bound. Thin red marbled paper covers, no endpapers (as issued), ii, 256 pages, all paginated (nb. the final page in the hardback first edition lacks pagination number 256.) Very thin, brittle paper. All pages clean and bright. Pages 89 - 92 were uncut and a previous owner separated them, leaving rough edges. Certain to be of interest to serious Agatha Christie collectors. Presented in a snugly-fitting new glassine cover to protect and conserve this brittle and collectable book.
