The ABC Murders
$1,000 · Offered by Biblio
First edition · In dust jacket
This is a hard to find first US edition. It comes with an original dust jacket taped to the book and a Facimile dj to make it look good on the shelf. The book itself shows it's age. Pages are slighlty browned and uneven but complete. Mottling on the edges. The front cover is not detached but the paper has worn away on inside. Near this a "from Linda" in pencil. Otherwise there are no writings on inside and it's not ex-lib. It has all it's end pages. The original green dust jacket again is taped to the book with tears and repairs as I have tried to show in pictures. The facimile is a copy of a worn but complete jacket. To get this book with a nice original jacket goes for about $3000. from my research. This is 1/3 the price due to jacket condition. Still very hard to find if you are a collector.
