About This Item
London : Victor Gollancz, 1976. First edition. "Rich tycoon brother is accidentally killed in storm. Feckless other brother, near twin, survives and returns to impersonate him and milk off all the lolly. Sir John Appleby, retired super-cop, the perfect gent of women's mag fiction, takes an interest when brother becomes a neighbour. Dry-sherryish, scholarly jokey, rambles a bit: keep your Catullus crib handy, baby" (The Scotsman, 11th December 1976). Post 8vo (21cm). 192pp. Original red boards, lettered in gilt; the palest of tanning to endpapers, but otherwise a very good, clean, and sound copy in the dust-jacket - the jacket just very faintly creased at head, but also very good.
