JOINING CHARLES AND OTHER STORIES

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with blue titles to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth mottled and with a couple of small areas of erosion to the upper spine fold. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the original dustwrapper that has a small chip to the lower front spine fold and another to the edge of the paper label on the spine. Correctly priced 6/- to the lower front flap. An attractive example of a scarce dustwrapper.

The author's third collection, comprising eleven stories, two of which, 'Dead Mabelle' and 'Foothold' are supernatural tales. The first edition was published 11 July 1929. Owing to the destruction of the publisher's records during the war, no record survives of the number of copies printed. (Bleiler; Sellery and Harris A5a).
