4.50 FROM PADDINGTON

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little bumping at the spine tips and corners, the cloth with a thin strip of toning to the upper edge, is bright and fresh. The contents, with a previous owner's armorial bookplate the front pastedown, some spotting to the endpapers and very occasionally to the margins, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptons or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has some foxing to the rear panel and some fading to the spine. Not price-clipped (12s 6d net to the lower front flap).

A Miss Marple novel. Both the UK and American editions were published in November 1957, although in America under the title 'What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw!'. (Hubin; Wagstaff & Poole; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
