1935 · New York
by Carter Dickson [John Dickson Carr]
New York: William Morrow, 1935. First US Edition, in illustrated boards as issued. Lacking the rare dust jacket.
Very Good overall, red topstain unfaded. Slightest lean, some rubbing to the extremities and to the rear panel. With a contemporary stamp on the front pastedown noting that this copy came from "The library of Virginia House" (a private collection, not an institutional library—see image), evidence of a previous owner name (now erased) on the front flyleaf, and glue darkening to the extremities of both front and rear endpaper. (Inventory #: 161118)
