THE MILLION POUND DEPOSIT

First US edition, first printing. Original red cloth with black lettering to spine and front panel, in the Bip Pares designed dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. Small Parisian bookseller's stamp to rear pastedown. Softening to spine tips. In the fine original dustwrapper, which, except for a 1 cm closed tear to the outer edge of the rear panel, some light rubbing to corners, and minimal soiling to folds, is remarkably bright, clean and sharp. A very attractive copy.

"How to dispose of a priceless document whose value could not be immediately realized was the problem confronting the six men who had illegally gained possession of the Boothroyd formula" (from the jacket). (Hubin).
