MURDER IN THE CALAIS COACH. [Murder on the Orient Express].

First American edition of this Hercule Poirot mystery, published in the UK under the title Murder on the Orient Express. Publisher's original tan cloth with titles in black to the upper board and spine, in the Clayton Rawson illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated endpapers, fore-edge untrimmed. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth with minor darkening to the extremities and a couple of mild production creases to the upper board. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and nicked price-clipped dustwrapper that has tiny chips at the head of the spine and is otherwise bright and without fading or tears. A scarce title in dustwrapper, especially so in this, original condition.
