Poison For 1 [Cover title: Poison For One]
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1934. Very Good. Item #29835
New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1934. First American Edition. Octavo; publisher's yellow cloth, upper cover and spine stamped in black, yellow topstain; [6],250pp. A hint of shelf wear, spine slightly cocked, small bump to top edge of rear cover, else a Very Good, bright and sound copy, albeit lacking the scarce dust jacket. A Red Badge Detective novel.
Both a locked room and a country house mystery novel featuring armchair detective Lancelot Priestley. Perhaps it's just as well this copy lacks the dust jacket: Dorothy Sayers complained in her review that the jacket gave away the solution.
Price: $250.00
