Item description from seller

(lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of same; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [a decent sound copy, spine moderately turned, light spotting to covers, one-time owner's initials and note re date read in ink along edge of rear pastedown (under jacket flap)]. (crime scene maps) A collaborative detective novel to which six noted British mystery writers of the day contributed a chapter. The project was supervised by John Chancellor, who has contributed a Preface and a Prologue, in which he explains that the idea was conceived by two British newspapermen, and "as each author completed a chapter the growing manuscript was handed on to the next man or woman [along with] the notes supplied by the various authors for the guidance of their successors." Chancellor's task was "to straighten things out, and a good deal of straightening out was necessary, for each new brain as it approached the task had set off in a different direction from that followed by its predecessors." (This was hardly a brand-new idea: in fact, the two top-billed authors here (Sayers and Crofts) had been part of an earlier group called the Detection Club, and had participated in the writing of a couple of similar novels in the early 1930s. In America, at least one example that occurs off the top was "The President's Mystery Story," published in 1935 (and supposedly based on an idea by FDR), in which the same procedure was followed by Rupert Hughes, S.S. Van Dine, and several others.) NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, to serve the dual purpose of protecting the book from further wear and enhancing its appearance on the shelf; its presence has not been factored in to our pricing.

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.
