The Ware Case

by George Pleydell

£75 · Offered by Adrian Harrington Rare Books

First edition

London: Methuen. 1913. First edition, later issue. 8vo. Publisher's bright red cloth titled in gilt to spine, minor edgewear, very good indeed. In the scarce dustwrapper, near fine save for the excision of the price label from the spine. With the incredibly rare wraparound band advertising the play of this crime novel being performed at Wyndham's Theatre. Very sharp and clean. Spotting to page edges. An unusual survival. Item #42035
