Mrs Mcginty's Dead Christie, Agatha

(London: Published for THE CRIME CLUB by COLLINS 1952). First UK Edition. This is a first printing of the first UK Edition. This example is fine in like dustwrapper (the brightest, cleanest and nicest example that I have handled in more than 10 years). The red cloth binding is square, clean, bright, and tight with sharp corners with just very light pushing to the spine ends (hardly worth mentioning). The contents are bright and clean with no spotting, no detectable age toning, and a crisp, unread feel. Even the text block edges are immaculate. The sole previous ownership mark is a contemporary name, British Columbia address, and date of 1953 inked on the front free endpaper. Affixed to the front pastedown is the tiny bookseller's sticker of an Edmonton, Alberta bookseller. The fine dustwrapper is bright, clean, and complete. The original publisher's price of 9s. 6d. net is present to the lower front flap. An absolutely beautiful copy and exceedingly uncommon in this condition. Photographs/scans available upon request.
