"Books are a hardbound drug with no danger of overdose. I am the happy victim of books."
— Karl Lagerfeld
London: The Crime Club by Collins, 1952. [Detective novel] LEATHER-BOUND FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.188 [4]. Recently re-bound in red half calf, with raised bands, gilt titles to twin black labels on spine, and black cloth over boards. Toned throughout, otherwise a clean copy, presented in an attractive new leather binding. "Mrs McGinty was dead. She was hit on the back of the head with some sharp, heavy implement and her pitifully small savings were taken... The inimitable Poirot, with his slightly comical aspect, his "little grey cells" and his genuinely warm heart, returns in an ingenious detective novel that once again earns for Agatha Christie the justifiable epithet of "incomparable"."
