"There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favourite book."
— Marcel Proust
London: For the Crime Club by Collins, 1933. [Detective fiction] FIRST EDITION, first impression. Crown octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.252; [4], advertisements. Publisher's orange cloth, titled in black to upper and backstrip, pictorial dust-wrapper. Contents clean, no inscriptions. Spine tips lightly worn. The scarce original jacket benefits from some expert paper conservation/restoration; the chips to spine have been remedied (associated sunning beneath), the panels were virtually complete. Shows extremely well and would rate fine in appearance. A most uncommon survival. Very good. A Hercule Poirot murder-mystery, also featuring sidekicks Inspector Japp and Captain Hastings. Item #73077
