First edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy cloth with silver titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and titles bright and fresh. The contents, mildly toned to the paper stock are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. A few spots to the fore-edge of the closed text block. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (8s 6d net to the front flap).
An Anthony Havilland thriller. (Hubin)
