CROOK'S CASTLE

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original green cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent very near fine copy, the binding firm, the cloth fresh and bright. The contents with a previous owner's bookplate and shelf number annotation to the front pastedown, and with his ownership inscription and acquisition date at the head of the title page are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that remains bright and without fading, loss or large tears. Correctly priced 2/6 net to the spine (this book was one of the publisher's "entirely new novels for half a crown"). A very attractive example, scarce in dustwrapper.
