Newman, Bernard - Maginot Murder Line

'The first great thriller of the Western Front'. A version of this title was first published in January 1939 and a second impression of this came out two months later. A new rewritten version was printed in October 1939. This is a SECOND impression of the new version. Unusual in its jacket.

WRAPPER : The wrapper on this copy is bright, complete and unclipped. The front and back panels show gentle wear to the edges. The spine is lightly sunned and is gently rubbed and scuffed at the top and the bottom. Looks sharp in protective plastic.

BOOK : The book is tight. The blue boards are clean and are unfaded. The corners are sharp. The spine ends are bruised. The text block is clean. No foxing. The closed page edges are gentle toned. There are no loose or dog-eared pages. The binding is tight, the hinges are solid. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.
