About This Item
London: Hutchinson, 1955. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. An attractive copy of this Roger Brook title in the original publisher's black cloth covers - minor push to the crown, corners lightly rubbed but a VG straight, tight and clean copy with bright gilt titles at the backstrip. The unclipped dustjacket is bright and clean with some minor loss at the corners and at the tail and a short tear to the top edge of the rear panel. Minor print soiling to the rear panel but much better than it sounds - Good++. At the title page the author has written, "With best Wishes from Dennis Wheatley". While signed/inscribed books by this author are by no means rare inscriptions are usually addressed to an individual by name - such generic inscriptions are uncommon.
