IF DEATH EVER SLEPT

First UK edition, first printing. Original red paper-covered boards with black titles to the spine, in the William Randell illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm. The contents, with a previous owner's name to the top edge of the title page, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper which has a few short closed tears at the edges and, although without loss, has several (unnecessary) tape repairs to the underside. Not priced to the front flap (for export). An attractive example.

The twentieth Nero Wolfe mystery novel. First published in the US in 1957 by the Viking Press. (Hubin; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
