THE ROOM IN THE TOWER

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original purple cloth with gilt titles to the upper board and spine. A good copy, the binding square with some bumping, rubbing and minor fraying to the spine tips and corners. The cloth is a little faded to the spine and with a few light marks. The contents are entirely complete and without loose pages. Evidence of a removed bookplate to the upper front pastedown, the inner front hinge weak. The prelims and margins are foxed, one page has a large closed tear (without loss) and there is a small ink stain to the fore-edge of the 32 page publisher's catalogue at the rear.

The author's first and best collection of supernatural tales. (Bleiler; Reginald, 01134).
