About This Item
London: Macmillan, 1975. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine/Fine. 8vo., 256pp. Beautiful First Edition of the author's first novel, introducing Oxford's Detective Chief Inspector Endeavor Morse. Bound in brown cloth with title in black on spine. Square, tight and clean throughout with save the mild toning and a few scattered spot that is almost always present due to the high acid content and poor quality of the paper used. Spine ends very gently pushed but quite trivial. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, (£2.50net), isl fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or tears. Quite uncommonly signed by Dexter on the title page. Housed in a Fine custom clamshell box with illustrations reproducing the dust-jacket art. A simply gorgeous collectable copy and quite uncommon in such high-grade condition.
