The Mummy, The Will, and the Crypt HC DJ John Bellairs Edward Gorey

by John Bellairs

$95 · Offered by eBay · No longer available

This is a copy of The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt, in very good condition, a first edition first printing! First printings of this one are rare, being the first Johnny Dixon story. This a pretty fun read that is genuinely creepy at times. Edward Gorey’s fantastic art is on the wraparound cover as well as the frontispiece and any interior illustrations or maps (a map in this instance). This copy has a lovely dust jacket that is protected under a new Brodart. The dust jacket is clipped on the inside front flap. The boards are in very good condition. There are no outside indicia of being ex library. Inside there is fewer than usual indicia. I will ship this securely in a padded box, with the book bagged and sandwiched in cardboard. I am happy to combine shipping on multiple lots.
