About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1939. First edition. Cloth. Good/Very Good Indeed. 7.5" by 5". None. A very scarce first edition of MacVeigh's Grand Central Murder. 'Grand Central Murder' is about a murderer who escapes custody, who's ex-girlfriend is found dead just a couple of days later. With decorative map endpapers. A film based on the book was released in 1942, starring Van Heflin. In a red cloth binding, with a price clipped dust wrapper. Externally, generally smart. Light bumping and some loss to the extremities, and a few handling marks. The dust wrapper has been reinforced with paper strips, and is very good with just a few closed tears and a little loss to the extremities, some rubbing and marks. The joints are starting, but still reasonably firm. Internally, the binding is tender in places. The pages are bright and clean, with a few marks to the endpapers. Good
