Toronto: Thomas Allen, Limited, 1962 Hard Cover. Presumed First Edition. 8 1/4 x 6 1/4", 160pp. The "Dale of the Mounted" series by Joe Holliday was enormously popular. The author researched his books better than most of the genre's auth ors.

Endpapers are white; sticker pull on upper right corner. Text is in perfect cond. Entire book is bright, tight and clean. A handsome copy. Overall cond. v. good.. F.
