1934 Lost London: The Memoirs of an East End Detective
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Author's Presentation Copy, Publishers' Original Binding, Signed
An early edition of this work, being the 'Treasure Library' edition, published in the same year as the first edition.
Inscribed by the author to his children with 'to Will & Ivy with kind thoughts from Father (the author)'. Signed works by Leeson are very scarce.
Illustrated with a portrait frontispiece.
Chapter IV is entirely devoted to the case of Jack the Ripper, and the murder of the Ripper's final victim, Frances Coles. Published 43 years after Coles's murder, Leeson offers a first person account of the events that took place that evening, as he was a policeman on the scene.
Undated; dated 1934 via LibraryHub.
Retired Detective-Sargeant B. Leeson offers a fascinating account of crime in late nineteenth century London
Condition
In the publisher's original cloth binding. Bumping to back strip head and tail, with light rubbing to rear joint. Front hinge strained, but firmly held. Author's inscription to half title. Internally, firmly bound. Pages a touch age toned, but generally clean and bright, with only the odd light handling mark.
Very Good
