Christie, Agatha - The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

Facsimile of 1926 Collins first edition. A UK first printing - with the number 1 on the copyright page. Not the Book Club issue. Comes with the wraparound band - as issued.

Wrapper : The wrapper on this copy is very bright, is unfaded and is complete. It is unclipped. It shows a touch of bruising to the spine ends. The wraparound band is in near fine condition, showing superficial soiling at the creases. Looks very sharp.

Book : The book is square and very tight. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. The boards ( which feature the same design as the original first edition ) are clean and unfaded, the corners sharp. There is a hint of bruising at the base of the spine. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are sound - the top edge is lightly flecked. The binding is tight - no cracked hinges. No remainder marks. A decent copy.
