About This Item
London: Hamish Hamilton (A Fingerprint Book), 1976. Book. Illus. by Graham Tucker (dust jacket illustration). Very Good. Hardcover. 1st thus.. Small octavo. Carr's first novel, originally published in 1930. This edition offered Henri Bencolin to a new generation of readers to see if they could solve the mystery of who beheaded the Duc de Saligny in a locked room of a Parisian gambling house. Cerulean cloth w/gilt spine lettering/fingerprint design, 168 pages. A 3/4" bump to bottom right corner of front cover, previous owner's signature neatly across top edge of first end paper, in dust jacket w/just a bit of edgewear. A pretty nice copy of a 1st Thus title that can hold that spot in your collection until you scrape up a few thousand dollars for the 1930 first printing..
