About This Item
London: Cassell and Company Ltd. 1938. First UK edition, first printing. First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding firm and cloth fresh. The contents with a previous owner's bookplate and shelf stamp to the front pastedown, and his ownership inscription and acquisition date at the head of the title page are otherwise clean throughout. A couple of pages with a production fault resulting in nicks and creasing to the outer margin (not affecting the text). Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is a little toned to the spine but otherwise without loss or tears. With the publisher's printed price of 7/6 net to the spine, covered with a 3/6 net sticker. Scarce in the unfortunately quite boring dustwrapper. The second and final Dr. Scarlett novel, with crime and lost race elements. (Hubin; Bleiler) Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
