Murder at Eight Bells.

McREAY, Ernest.

London; Columbine Publishing Company. n.d. [1939]. First EDition. 8vo. Publisher's orange cloth faded to spine and extremities to an attractive poached salmon, possibly that's not a standard book colour.Tight, clean and sharp. Very good indeed (except for being sunned) in a very good, unclipped dustwrapper with corresponding fading to spine panel, some trifling edgewear and a triangular closed tear to the spine panel. Slight spotting to page edges, internally clean, ink ownership to front fly. A strange combination of factors go towards making this quite a cool thing; it's the publisher's file copy from a small and fairly obscure publishing house (there's a file copy label to the front flyleaf) and it's the author's only crime novel. Add to that the fact that it's a murder mystery set on a cruise liner and what's not to like? Item #39754
