MYSTERY WEEK-END

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's retained copy. Original black cloth with orange titles to the spine, in the first printing dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, bright and fresh. The contents, with some spotting to the closed text block edge and with the publisher's 'Archive Copy' stamp to the title page and front pastedown, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the very lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has a 'File Copy' stamp to the lower front panel and the publication year "38" in ink to the upper corner of the rear panel. The spine is just a touch faded, however this is a very bright and crisp example. Correct publisher's price of 7/6 net to the spine. A scarce title.

A detective story, 'introducing Mr. Doty'. From the archive of the publisher Victor Gollancz. (Hubin).
