About This Item
New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1938. Hardcover. Illustrations by F.E. Warren. Small 8vo. Orange pebble-grained cloth with blue lettering and decoration, pictorial dust jacket. 213pp. Frontispiece, blue pictorial endpapers. Near fine/very good. Jacket mildly edgeworn and a tad rubbed, with a few tiny edge chips. A tight and handsome first edition of the first title in the short-lived "Jimmie Drury Mystery" series -- four titles that concluded in 1941. Fun front jacket art shows Jimmy in shirt and red sweater up close, about to snap a picture of the bad guy whose evil shadow lurks behind Jimmy. A superb copy with a quite nice jacket.
