THE SWORD OF FATE

First edition, first printing. Inscribed presentation copy. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Abbey illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated endpapers. Undated twelve page catalogue at the rear. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with spotting to the closed text block edge are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very near fine lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper that a tiny hole at the upper spine fold and is otherwise without fading, loss or tears. Correctly priced 9/6 net to the front flap. A very attractive example.

Inscribed by the author in black ink on the title page "For S. R. Fuller / With very best wishes from / Dennis Wheatley". The second of three novels featuring Julian Day.
