THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY

First edition, first printing. Original orange cloth with black titles to the spine. Lacking the Leslie Stead illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping to the spine tips and corners. The cloth with a few light marks and a little fading to the spine. The contents are entirely complete and without loose or torn pages. There is the odd isolated foxing spot to the margins otherwise the pages are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps.

A biblio-mystery featuring Miss Marple. First published in America by Dodd, Mead and Company in February 1942, the British edition followed in May the same year. (Hubin; Wagstaff & Poole; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
