Fletcher, J.S. - The Great Brighton Mystery

A US first edition, first impression.

WRAPPER : The wrapper on this copy is bright and complete. It is unclipped, showing the price $2.00 on the inside flap. The front and back panels are bright and unfaded. There is There is a tiny touch of loss at the top of the front panel/ front inside flap creases. The spine panel is gently soiled. The red design on the spine has lost some of its lustre. Given the wrapper is 100 years old, it is in remarkably bright condition.

BOOK : The book is square and tight. The boards are clean. The corners are sharp. The spine ends are very gently bruised. The pages are clean. No foxing. The closed page edges are flecked and a little dulled. The red top stain is, I suspect, a later addition. There are no loose or dog-eared pages. The binding is solid - the front board hingeis cracked in one place. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.
