ONE OF THE RARER DODD MEAD AGATHA CHRISTIE 1STS AS THIS IS A COLLECTION OF 4 NOVELETTES IT WAS PUBLISHED IN MUCH SMALLER QUANTITIES THAN CHRISTIE'S ANNUAL NOVELS (HENCE THE REASON WHY THERE WAS 3 SUBSEQUENT DODD MEAD PRINTINGS).

Book also comes with a color facsimile of the RARE Dodd Mead DJ to provide protection from damage and to improve its appearance on a shelf. Overall a VG+/FINE- book of a one of the rarest 1930s Agatha Christie 1st printings. I have a number of other U.K. and U.S. Agatha Christie 1st printing hardcover books up for sale.
