RARE TRUE 1ST TRADE EDITION (the more common book club edition has no price on the DJ front flap, has no list of Christie books to left of title page). Book has no former owner or used bookstore markings/stamps inside, clean endpapers - no staining or tape residue, no foxing to pages or endpapers, slight age darkening/foxing to outer page edges (no dust soiling), tight pages with no creased page corners, no wear to board edges, board corners or to spine tips (common defect with these 1950s "sprayed-on" colored boards), no soiling or staining to boards, no bumped board corners. Dust jacket has no chipping or tearing or creasing, slight loss at top spine tip, hint of wear to bottom spine tip, almost no wear to front flap crease (nick losses at flap crease corners), fading to spine lettering but still present (common defect with this DJ - usually the title lettering is found completely faded away), slight dust rubbing to white panels, faint age spotting on flaps otherwise no soiling or staining. Overall a N-FINE book in VG+ dust jacket (not price clipped) of a rare 1950s era Agatha Christie 1st printing. I have a number of other U.K
