MRS. MCGINTY'S DEAD

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with black titles to the spine, in the Kenneth Farnhill illustrated dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding firm with just a touch of bumping at the spine tips, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents, toned to the paper stock are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is a little rubbed, nicked and creased to the extremities and otherwise bright and without fading. Clipped and repriced by the publisher to the lower front flap. An attractive example.

A Hercule Poirot novel. First published in America by Dodd, Mead and Company in February 1952, the British edition followed in March of the same year. (Hubin; Wagstaff & Poole; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
