About this Item

The boards have a small patch of fading at the top of the spine and top left corner of the front panel and light corner bumping. Previous owner's book plate to front free endpaper where he (Prof. Wiliam A.S. Sarjeant) has written a gift message to another collector of detective fiction, André Michielsen. The pages are heavily browned with a narrow inch long strip torn from the bottom edge of the first page after the front free endpaper and small creases to the top corners of pages 73 to 88 in the second story. The book has been in the house of smoker so there is also a little odour to the pages which are otherwise unmarked. The jacket has a little chipping to the corners and a half inch triangular piece missing at the top of the spine and top left corner of the front panel. The jacket has been reinforced to the reverse with small pieces of sticky tape to the folds at the top and bottom. Browning to the spine and the rear panel. Jacket illustration by Plante. First printing.
