AT THE DEAD OF NIGHT. Volume Seven in the "Not at Night" Anthology Series.

First edition, first printing. Original red paper-covered boards with black titles to the upper board and spine, in later issue dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm with minor bumping at the spine tips. The contents, with a previous owner's name to the front endpaper are otherwise clean throughout. Faint spotting to the closed text block edge. Complete with the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has a single short closed tear to the upper spine fold and a little creasing, without loss. Correctly priced 2/- net to the spine, although the dustwrapper (whilst always being with this first edition book) is a later issue with titles up to 'Nightmare By Daylight' (1936) on the rear panel. Scarce in this condition.
