About this Item

Issued simultaneously in wrappers and cloth. This is the cloth bound issue, bound in full red cloth with gilt titles. Corners a little bumped and there is some discoloration to the spine heel where the jacket is chipped. Otherwise a fairly tight clean copy. This copy was a Presentation copy signed by the author on July 7th 1959 to the Mystery Writers of America with their stamp on the front endpaper and another to the rear. The binding is tight and strong and the text is clean. There is some offsetting to the endpapers from the jacket flaps. The jacket is only good, with some losses to the spine ends and two corners and some creasing and closed tears. Over 90% complete, the rear white panel is also discolored. Text is in English.
