THE BLACK STOCKING

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original orange cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding firm, the spine just a touch rolled. The cloth remains fresh with small patches of fading at the spine tips. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. The top edge of the closed text block is a little dusty. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has several short closed tears with associated creasing, three of which has a small piece of tape to the underside. Not price-clipped (7s 6d net to the lower front flap).

The eleventh crime novel by the sisters Constance and Gwyneth Little. (Hubin; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
