About This Item
New York:: Detective Book Club, , (1942). Hardcover first edition -. Very good+ in beige cloth in a very good dust jacket (bookplate on front pastedown, some discoloration from the binding process on endpapers, with a faint "old book" musty odor, in a dustjacket with a few chips, some toning to the spine). . Original book club edition. An omnibus edition containing three complete mystery novels - Hanged for a Sheep by Frances & Richard Lockridge; A Bertha Cool novel - Bats Fly at Dusk by A. A. Fair (pseudonym of Earle Stanley Gardner); and Cue for Murder by Helen McCloy featuring Dr Basil Willing. One of the pleasures of these omnibus volumes, which combine three very different works in one book, is the opportunity they create of discovering authors or novels which might be unknown to you. The pages appear to be acid free, and are still white and supple, unlike many books from this era. Each novel paginated individually - 301, 277, 275 pp. Back cover of dust jacket has an ad for the Detective Book Club and a reminder to buy war stamps and bonds.
