Item description from seller

First edition, first impression, a Haycraft-Queen cornerstone. Stamped on the title page in purple ink "With the Publisher's Compliments". An interesting variation on the conventional detective fiction anthology, in which the six authors contribute stories featuring supposedly foolproof murders, each followed by an exposition of the flaws in the criminal scheme by the recently retired detective George W. Cornish of Scotland Yard. Octavo. Original salmon pink cloth, titles to spine in black. With dust jacket. Slight rubbing to ends and board edges, spotting to edges and early leaves, a very good copy in the jacket with faint dust-soiling to rear panel and small chips to ends and corners.
