About This Item
First UK Edition; A Near Fine book in a Near Fine dust jacket. SIGNED by the author on the front free end paper. A pristine copy of this collection of short stories, including "The Birds", the basis for the classic Hitchcock film; by the author of "Rebecca", "My Cousin Rachel", etc.; this book very scarce in collectible condition, particularly signed. This copy is in near fine condition with a square tight binding, bright gold lettering over red boards, and clean white pages; a mild crimp to the spine head and some very light soiling to the exterior text block are present, else fine. Housed in a near fine dust jacket that is clean and bright but does show some light age toning to the spine lettering and some mild rubbing to the spine ends and corners, else fine. An outstanding copy of this book; a bucket list item for the Du Maurier collector or a "books into movies" collector! Not price clipped (10/6 intact), not ex-library; in a protective Mylar cover and will ship in a sturdy box.
