WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION And Other Stories.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's grey cloth with red titles to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm with minor rubbing to the spine tips, the cloth and titles bright and fresh. The contents, with a few faint spots to the endpapers are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a tiny chips to the spine tips and some spotting to the rear panel and flaps. Correctly priced $2.50 to the upper front flap. An excellent example of a scarce title for which there is no equivalent British publication (although all of the stories were published in the UK over three different collections). An attractive example, scarce thus.
