The Rising Of The Moon Mitchell, Gladys

First UK Edition. Publisher's black cloth-covered boards with silver titles to the spine. The silver lettering is still incredibly bright as the book has clearly had a dustwrapper throughout its life. The boards are exceptionally clean and un-faded. No inscriptions. No bumping. A really nice near fine copy. The dustwrapper is priced 9/6 net to the inside flap (as called for). and is complete with no chips or pieces missing. It has a 1.2 cm closed tear at the top left-hand corner of the front panel. Virtually no toning to the spine. The back panel is clean with several foxing spots. The nicest copy of this uncommon war-time Gladys first edition that I have seen. "Every full moon, a Ripper runs amok on the streets of Brentford. Masters Simon and Keith Innes set out to catch the killer under the disturbing guidance of the repellently delightful sleuth, Mrs. Bradley. Full of the very British eccentric goings-on that mark the popular tales of Gladys Mitchell, this shows her at her mordant and morbid best" (GoodReads). Photographs/scans available upon request.
