MADAME MAIGRET'S FRIEND

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Val Biro illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding firm with a little bumping to the spine tips and corners, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, with some spotting to the endpapers and closed text block edge, are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper which is a little dusty to the rear panel and flap edges. Not price-clipped (12s 6d net to the front flap).

Translated from the French by Helen Sebba. (Hubin).
