THE SECOND SEAL

First edition, first printing. Inscribed by the author. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Colour map endpapers. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. The top- and fore-edges of the text block are spotted. Complete with the rubbed and nicked slightly spine faded dustwrapper that has a couple of short closed tears at the bottom of the rear panel but remains without loss. Not price-clipped (12/6d net to the front flap).

Inscribed by the author in blue ink on the title page "For / H. F. Fuller / With best wishes / from his old friend / Dennis Wheatley". An attractive example of the seventh Duke de Richleau novel.
