Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Near Fine takes the age into consideration. Dust Jacket Condition: also Near Fine. This is true world First Edition, preceding the American issue. HARDCOVER has been well protected by the jacket, which is also now protected. 1958 FIRST EDITION origin…al price of 12s. 6d. intact but with small biro cancellation. No owner names or turned down corners. Certainly not an ex library copy. Excellent portrait photograph of RC on the rear of the jacket. Bound in orange cloth with gilt lettering. Some age toning to a book this old is inevitable but it really is a solid good collectable first printing. Dust jacket has some very slight signs of use, no repairs. Philip Marlowe's last case.
