First edition, first printing. Publisher's original white paper covers, printed in black. Publisher's adverts front and rear. A very good copy, the binding rubbed and nicked at the folds with small chips at the spine tips and corners. The contents with the occasional finger mark are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. An excellent example, entirely unsophisticated and rare thus. A collection of 11 stories of crime and detection, later reprinted and expanded in various forms. This was one of the last titles published under The Hansom Cab Publishing Company imprint, created by the businessman Frederick Trischler after securing the copyright to the Fergus Hume's bestselling mystery novel of the same name. He continued to publish under the name Trischler & Company. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
