1949 Maigret Chez le Coroner
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Uncommon, With Dustwrapper
An uncommon first edition copy of this work in the publisher's original paper wraps, with the original unclipped dust wrapper designed by the notable French painter Roger Bezombes (1913-1994).
Ink inscriptions to the rear end paper.
Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was a popular Belgian author, best remembered for his detective novels featuring his famous character Maigret. This is an unusual Maigret novel set in Tucson, Arizona. While Maigret is on a study trip, he witnesses a coroner's inquest.
There were no large paper editions of this novel. This is the first edition, written in the original French.
Condition
In the publisher's original paper wraps, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, smart, with minor shelf wear to the joints and head and tail of the spine. Mark to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Marginal age toning to pages which are otherwise bright and clean. Dust wrapper remains bright with edgewear. Due to large tears to the fold of the fly leaves, dust wrapper may come apart into three sections with further handling. Chipping to the head and tail of the spine, resulting in small losses, and a small vertical tear to the spine.
Very Good
