Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Pretty clean and tight, and in a gorgeous protected jacket. Okay it is a slightly chipped jacket but it has no serious losses. The book was printed on pulp paper so there is a brittle foxed quality to it but this is the best copy I've ever seen, especially with the superb artwork on the cover; this is greatly enhaced because it's got a fresh first print quality. A lone investigator hunts for his partner's killer, and in the best Chase style of prose this grips you and keeps you reading. Good straightforward sleuthing, in the Chandler vein.
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A first printing of the first edition UK hardback. This famed novel is a Near Fine copy in a Near Fine jacket. The jacket is complete and protected. It is not price clipped. Highly collectable.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Profusely Illustrated (illustrator). 1st Edition. Cloth. Fine/Fine. First Edition. Olive Cook was one of the great topographical writers, and this book is something close to a masterpiece. She guides but does not hector. She dscribes but avoids being flowery. And this book contains that rare combination of harmonious prose and pictures. Evocative and wonderful photographs by the great Edwin Smith, an unpretentious but subtle photographer. Clean and tight book in a clean and intact jacket, which is protected. The first printing - way back in the 80s - meant that the plates were fresh, sharp and original. Subsequent editions become worn, (unlike today's digital files, where the first impression is not necessarily different to the 20th!) These lovely shots are illuminating and tinged with nostalgia, inevitably, but they have a superb reportage quality as well. 0.0 0.0 0.0.
