About This Item
London: Michael Joseph, 1957. First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Indeed. 8" by 5.5". Riviere. 'Much in Evidence' is a novel by Henry Cecil Leon in unclipped dustwrapper designed by Riviere. Leon (1902 - 1976) wrote under the pen-names Henry Cecil and Clifford Maxwell, was a judge and a writer of fiction about the British legal system. He used his experience as inspiration for his work. First edition. His books are works of great comic genius with unpredictable twists of plot, but are not intended to be realistic or strong on characterisation. They typically feature educated and genteel fraudsters and blackmailers who lay ludicrously ingenious plots exploiting loopholes in the legal system. In a cloth binding with unclipped dustwrapper. Externally, in a lovely condition with only minor shelfwear, dustwrapper has minor edgewear, slight fading to spine and slight age-toning and handling marks to rear. Internally, firmly bound. Bright but with slight age-toning to text block edge and slight offsetting to endpapers. Near Fine
