London: Robson Books Ltd, 1977. First edition. Hardback. Fine/Very Good. Robson Books Ltd, London, 1977. First edition. Book condition: near fine and unmarked apart from a slight roll to the spine. Dust jacket condition: very good, unclipped and with just a little shelf wear around the edges. This book is an inspection of the people who do our dirty work for us. Throughout the centuries there has been no end to the imaginative methods the state has sanctioned to execute those who have committed criminal acts. Howard Engel has brought the eye of a novelist and the heart of a gentleman to his subject. The entertaining text is complemented by over seventy historical paintings, photographs, woodcuts, and engravings of executions and executioners. The result is a highly readable and deliciously macabre trip into the world of our authorized merchants of death.
