MAIGRET TO THE RESCUE

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with [second state] black titles to the spine, without the scarce dustwrapper. A near very good copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping at the spine tips and corners. The cloth is faintly mottled to the panels and faded to the spine. The contents with a previous owner's single number "4" written on the front endpaper and title page are otherwise clean throughout. Quite a scarce title in first edition.

Two stories "The Flemish Shop" and "The Guinguette by the Seine", translated from the French by Geoffrey Sainsbury. (Hubin).
