About This Item
London: Collins Crime Club, 1965. First edition, first printing. Published by Collins Crime Club in London, 1965. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, designed by Brian Russell, has not been price clipped and displays the original 16s net price. There is some very slight sunning to the spine, which are also bumped at the spine tips. There is a slight mark to the rear panel. The boards are free from notable chips and marks and bright in the original buckram. The internals are free from any marks or inscriptions and the text blocks are immaculate. Overall, this is a near fine copy. It features the detective Miss Marple. Miss Marple takes a two-week holiday in London, at Bertram's Hotel, where she stayed in her youth. The hotel has a personality of its own, and a niche clientele of important church people, older women who lived through the Edwardian age, and girls looking for a safe place to stay in London. Miss Marple enjoys her trips around London, and learns that she cannot go back: life moves forward.
