THE DOORS OPEN

First UK edition, first printing. Publisher's original blue cloth, with black titles to the spine and upper board, in dustwrapper. A good or better copy, the binding square and firm, with bumping, rubbing and toning to the extremities, the cloth is mottled (mainly to the spine) and marked. The contents have a previous owner's name to the front free endpaper and spotting to the closed text block edges and sporadically throughout. Complete with the good rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that has multiple tears (the longest is 4cm) repaired with tape to the underside, and a couple chips with loss to the spine. Not price-clipped (8/6 net to the front flap). A scarce title.

The third Inspector Hazelrigg mystery. (Hubin).
