MURDER IN THE MEWS AND OTHER STORIES

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original orange cloth with black titles to the spine. Lacking the rare dustwrapper. A good or better copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping to the spine tips and corners, the cloth a little marked and darkened to the spine. The contents are entirely complete and without loose or torn pages. There is a previous owner's signature in ink to the front endpaper and some spotting and occasional marking to the pages throughout. A scarce title in first edition.

The first edition was published in the UK in March 1937, the American edition followed in June under the title 'Dead Man's Mirror' minus one story, 'The Incredible Theft'.
