Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Soft cover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. Cover Design By Maher & Murtagh / Cover Photo By Peter Paterson (illustrateur). First Edition. "Paperjacks edition published October 1984." This Canadian mass-market paperback is the true first edition of the author's first crime novel -- and first appearance of Inspector Frost. Has been read; shows light double reading creases to spine. Small closed tears to edges of rear wraps, and minor scuffing to heel of spine which may have resulted from a sticker pull. Otherwise book remains firm and square. Wraps (skeletal hand chained in snow) still bright & glossy. 284 pp. followed by 6 pp. of ads and two blanks. Original cover price $3.50. The slightly lesser of two now on offer. Reduced from $62.
