NOT FOR EXPORT

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original burgundy 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, the cloth dusty at the extremities. The contents, with light a little spotting at the prelims, closed text block edge, and to the margins throughout, are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a couple of tiny closed tears (without loss) and a four digit number in ink to the slightly faded spine. Not price-clipped (10/6 net to the front and rear flap).

The seventeenth Tommy Hambledon thriller. (Hubin).
