Agatha Christie. Lord Edgware Dies. Collins / The Crime Club, London, 1933.
Price: US$48309.86 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: HARDBACK - A very good book with clean red cloth boards that show minor soiling to the upper corner of the front panel, with light fading to a small area of the spine tips. Internally, there is foxing to the page block with sporadic foxing to some of the inner pages. Dustiness to the top page block. The dust wrapper is a very good example with some very subtle restoration to a small area at the base of the spine affecting a couple of letters of the crime club, also to a very small area of the spine tip, not affecting any of the lettering. The light restoration is of the highest quality, and is only partial, as small chips have been left un-touched at the spine tips, giving the dust wrapper a more natural look. There are some closed tears to the extremities, with hairline creases to the front panel. Overall, the dust wrapper is a clean example with minimal fading to the spine, with the publisher's printed price of 7/6net present to the spine.
