A HAIR DIVIDES

First edition, first printing. Original black cloth with red titles to the spine and blind stamped titles to the upper board. In the dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the lightly toned contents, with two tiny marks to the text block edges, are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the the lightly rubbed dustwrapper that has some small nicks to the spine tips and hinges, and a 1 cm closed tear to the rear panel. An attractive example.

A mystery novel. Claude Houghton was know for his ability to mix reality with mysticism and speculation. Hugh Walpole described him as "one of the most interesting and one of the most important novelists now writing in England". (Hubin)
