About This Item
Presumably first edition.
160 p.; ill.; 24 cm. Includes Index (pp. 157-159).
Softcover book shows minor shelfwear to covers, mainly edges, and cover curl, as well as expected aging (yellowing) of both covers and pages. The book has the occasional unobtrusive checkmark or underline in pen, but is otherwise internally in Near Fine condition. Profusely illustrated with both artwork and photography.
From the rear:
Seven distinguished crime writers look at the past, present and future of crime writing in this book, which springs from a BBC Television series. They examine the great landmarks of crime fiction, and a richly illustrated linking commentary reflects on the origins and developmentof the most popular of all fiction genres. But the point of view is not just historical; the essayists show how detective stories reveal a great many of the prevalent social attitudes of the last hundred years. And the essays deal not only with crime fiction in printed form but also on television and film.
