About this Item

ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE THREE INVESTIGATORS #1 - THE SECRET OF TERROR CASTLE by ROBERT ARTHUR, illustrated by Harry Kane, published by Random House, copyright 1964, First Printing First State (switched line error on page 47, stitched gathered page block, single piece endpapers), no references to subsequent printings on the rear cover), no references to Gibraltar Library Binding on rear cover, blue spiderweb/graveyard illustrated endpapers, fully illustrated boards. Book has no creased page corners, hint of dust soiling to outer page edges which are still white with just a hint of age darkening to top outer page edge only (no foxing), endpapers are clean and free from any tape residue or discolorations, no tearing or splitting of page block from internal hinges (common defect with these three investigator hardcovers), no former owner's markings or used bookstore markings/stickers inside, no wear to board edges or to board corners, barest hint of wear to spine tips, no wear to left/right on spine, no soiling or staining to boards, NO COLOR RUBBING TO BOARDS (common defect with this book), no surface color tears to boards, ever so tiny bumped board corner, no spine sun darkening. THIS IS PROBABLY THE HIGHEST GRADE COPY OF THE FIRST PRINTING FIRST STATE OF BOOK #1 THAT I HAVE HAD FOR SALE IN YEARS. Note: This book comes protected by a removable clear Brodart book cover (cover is not taped to book - it can be simply slipped off if desired) which prevents further rubbing/soiling damage to the outer boards. Any white marks/glare lines in the photo are simply glare from the flatbed scanner reacting to this Brodart cover (and are not actual defects with the book). Overall FINE-/N-FINE book of a hardcover first printing first state Three Investigators book. I have a number of other hardcover and paperback Three Investigator books up for sale.
