Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. First impression of the true first edition. Colour dustwrapper illustration by Graham Rogers. ***Please note that this is a rebound ex-library copy, but is clean without any damage. ***Very good in textured green boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still beautifully bright having been protected by the dustwrapper. No bumps or creases. Corners sharp. Top edge of page block stained yellow, either by the publisher or by the library. Internally the book would be described as near fine except for the following library marks: catalogue stamp to the front free endpaper, Cambridgeshire Libraries stamp to the printer's page. No other marks or stamps. All pages present. Pages clean. No foxing. The binding has a very slight reading lean. Spine tight. ***In a very good colour illustrated dustwrapper, that has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £7.95 net. The dustwrapper is complete without any significant faults. Virtually no creasing or rubbing as the dustwrapper was protected in a library sleeve [now removed]. There is some offsetting from a library label at the bottom of the spine and an area of the back panel near the spine. No tears. No fading. Dustwrapper bright. ***190 pages. 202mm x 132mm. ***'Gladys Mitchell turns out excellent novels on the old pattern - and still adds her own touch of unassuming eccentricity --- Human nature is quizzically observed and the English countryside lovingly described'. - The Tablet [Review quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper respectively]. ***'Gladys Maude Winifred Mitchell (21 April 1901 - 27 July 1983) was an English author best known for her creation of Mrs Bradley, the heroine of 66 detective novels. Feted during her life (called "the Great Gladys" by Philip Larkin), her work has been largely neglected in the decades since her death. Mitchell wrote at least one novel a year throughout her career. Her first novel (Speedy Death, 1929) introduced Beatrice Adela Lestrange Bradley, a polymathic psychoanalyst and author who was featured in a further 65 novels. Her strong views and those of her assistant, Laura Menzies, on social and philosophical issues reflected those of her author; they appear to have been something of a self-portrait of the young Mitchell, reflecting, for good or ill, the standards of the modern, post-war era of the 1920s. Mitchell was an early member of the Detection Club along with G. K. Chesterton, Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers and throughout the 1930s was considered to be one of the "Big Three" women detective writers. [Wiki] ***An ex-library copy of the first impression of the true first edition - although a later title, quite hard to find now, especially in the original dustwrapper - perhaps as many copies went to lending libraries, as in this case. A rebound example, but very clean. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 8339
