Contact seller4-star sellerPaperbacks. Condition: Good Reading Copies. Various editions. Five mysteries in varying conditions, the least collectible being The Gordons title, which won't survive any but the most careful of readings, the next being the Ehrlich, which is tightly bound and will probably see a snap of the spine if not handled with gentleness,…while the other three are in very good shape, and should survive just fine. Size: 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Book.
