A UK first edition, first impression. A review copy with a review slip loosely laid in.
WRAPPER : The evocative wrapper on this copy is bright and complete. It is unclipped. It shows slight rubbing to the corners and gentle scuffing at the head of the spine. The pink spine is - unusually - UNFADED. Looks sharp in protective plastic.
BOOK : The book is square and tight. The boards are clean, the corners are sharp. The spine ends are gently bruised. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are dusty and flecked. No dog-eared pages. The binding is solid - no cracked hinges. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.
Publisher: Collins ( Crime Club ), 1970
Condition: Very Good ++. Wrapper: Very Good ++
