What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Original Binding, Pleasing Copy, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first US edition, first impression, with no further impressions stated. First published in the UK earlier the same year.
In the scarce original unclipped dust wrapper, with correct $2.00 price. The dust wrapper has benefitted from sensitive restoration.
A gripping Hercule Poirot murder mystery, set on le Train Bleu to the French Riviera, on which a woman is found strangled, and the famous ruby she owned is discovered to be missing.
An exceptional copy of this early Poirot, written by the Queen of Detective Fiction.
Condition
In the original cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally in excellent condition, with just minor bumping to the extremities and head and tail of the spine, causing minor splitting to the cloth to the back strip. The odd mark to the boards, including scattered white spotting to rear board. Dust wrapper is in excellent condition, and has benefitted from sensitive restoration to joints, fore edge, head and foot and a small portion or restoration to upper panel. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with just marginal age toning and the odd spot.
Very Good Indeed
