About This Item
London : Hammond, Hammond & Co., (1949). First edition. The plane crash-landed in the desert in a raging sandstorm ..." – an Anatole Flique novel, copyrighted in 1948, published in January 1949 and apparently never published in the USA. "A crisp style and originality of handling that lifts it from the conventional American thriller" (Western Morning News, 16th March 1949).
Crown 8vo (20cm). (192)pp. Original blue-green boards, blocked and lettered in gilt; spine slightly sunned through jacket, but a very good and sound copy in the original Stein dust-jacket – a design in black, yellow, green, blue, pink and purple – just a little sunned, very lightly worn at tips, and just slightly nicked.
