About This Item
London : New Fiction Press, [1953]. First edition. A complex tale of telepathy, grave-robbing, missing woman and suicide. A reference in a footnote on p.18 to Portsmouth's May 1953 Coronation Ideal Home and Trades Exhibition dates the publication fairly precisely, even if slightly distracting from the Chicago setting. Crown 8vo (19cm). 142,[ii]pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers - alarmed blonde in golden gown tied by a rope - a design by Reginald Heade; lightly rubbed; staples rusting; small chip to final advertisement leaf, but still overall a very good copy of a scarce title. Just a single copy (National Library of Scotland) located in major libraries worldwide.
