About This Item
London: Routledge, 1940. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. (London: George Routledge & Sons Ltd 1940). First UK Edition. Publisher's blue boards with black lettering to the spine. A near fine copy. In the RARE photographic-style D/W priced 8s 3d net to the inside flap (as called for). The D/W which is prone to wear is about VG with a crease to the spine and the front flap, with foxing in places to the spine, back panel and rear flap and minor chipping, short tears and wear to the top edge. It would appear as if the foxing has got underneath the laminate used to manufacture the D/W. In our experience this is the scarcest Simenon first edition published by Routledge. We have only handled one other copy in recent years. Translated by Geoffrey Sainsbury. Contains two stories: Liberty Bar and The Madman of Bergerac. Rare. Photographs/scans available upon request.
