Alfred Hitchcock And The Three Investigators #24 The Mystery Of The Death Trap Mine - Hardcover 1St Printing M. V. Carey & Jack Hearne (Illustrator)

ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE THREE INVESTIGATORS #24 - THE MYSTERY OF THE DEATH TRAP MINE by M. V. CAREY, illustrated by Jack Hearne, published by Random House, copyright 1976, First Printing (complete 1 - 9 0 numberline on copyright page), no references to Gibraltar Library Binding on rear cover, white endpapers, glossy boards. Book has no creased page corners, hint of dust soiling/age darkening to outer page edges with hint of foxing to top outer page edge only, no foxing to pages or endpapers, endpapers are clean and free from soiling or scotch tape marks, no tearing or splitting of page block from internal hinges (very very common defect with these early 3 investigator books - the glue on the page block is always separating from the boards), no former owner's markings or used bookseller stamps/stickers inside, no wear to board edges or board corners or to spine tips (just a hint to spine tip corners), no peeling to glossy covering, no spine sun fading, no soiling or staining to boards, no bumped board corners. Note: This book comes protected by a removable clear Brodart book cover (cover is not taped to book - it can be simply slipped off if desired) which prevents further rubbing/soiling damage to the outer boards. Any white marks/glare lines in the photo are simply glare from the flatbed scanner reacting to this Brodart cover (and are not actual defects with the book). Overall a FINE-/N-FINE book of a first hardcover printing Three Investigators book. I have a number of other hardcover and paperback Three Investigator books up for sale.
