BRIEF CANDLES

First edition, first printing. Original red cloth with black lettering to the spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the contents without inscriptions or stamps. Scattered spotting page to block edges, spreading to prelims and final pages. Minor softening and fading to spine tips. The dustwrapper is rubbed to edges, folds and spine tips, and nicked to corners, with some minor loss to the head of the spine. Lightly faded to the spine. Not price-clipped (10/6 net to the front flap).

The first of the 'Latimers' supernatural mysteries by Francis Gaite who are perhaps better better known under their other pseudonym of Manning Coles. (Hubin).
