AGATHA CHRISTIE - DEATH ON THE NILE, published by UK publisher Collins, copyright 1937, First Printing (states "Copyright 1937" on copyright page with no references to subsequent printings), lists to "Dumb Witness" on list of Christie books to left of title page, 4 pages of ads at rear (reviews for "Dumb Witness" "Cards On The Table" & "Murder in Mesopotamia" & ad to join the Crime Club), orange cloth boards with black lettering to spine and front board, correct 1st state original Dust Jacket (generic reviews to rear panel & reviews for last 3 books to rear flap) . Book has just a couple of creased page corners, no former owner or used bookstore markings/stamps inside, clean endpapers with no staining or tape residue, no foxing to pages, endpapers, or outer pages, hint of age darkening/dust soiling to outer page edges, no lettering fading/wear to spine (common defect with these early Collins 1st print books), no wear to board edges, just a hint of wear to board corners, slight wear to spine tip corners, usual slight dust/handling soiling to cloth boards, slight spine sun fading. Original Dust Jacket has no restoration but has been slightly trimmed at top and bottom (obviously taken from a Collins "ex-libris" edition book where a couple of % of the first printing were printed in different colored slightly smaller but stronger boards and hinges with the round "ex-libris" logo at bottom of front board) however all of the spine printing is still retained despite the trimming (unlike other restored out there for sale), no chipping or tearing or creasing, slight wear to spine tips with largish 'v' losses at spine tip corners, slight wear to front flap crease (nick losses at flap crease corners), almost no edge wear, hint of dust soiling/foxing to white rear panel, slight spine sun darkening, no scotch tape marks to flaps, no soiling or staining. Overall a VG book in VG/VG+ condition (trimmed) dust jacket (price clipped) of a rare 1930s era UK Agatha Christie 1st printing IN ORIGINAL FIRST STATE DUST JACKET. I have a number of other U.K. and U.S. Agatha Christie 1st printing hardcover books up for sale.
