The Schirmer Inheritance by Eric Ambler. Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1953 — First American Edition. Book Condition / Dust Jacket Condition : Book: Very Good −; Black cloth boards with gilt spine lettering (still legible but dulled). Binding remains solid and square. Noticeable tape residue and discoloration along spine edges, with adhesive remnants at the spine ends. Boards show moderate handling wear and surface scuffing. Interior is clean and unmarked; no writing or ownership inscriptions. Paper shows uniform age-toning consistent with early 1950s Knopf production. Overall a sound, complete copy with cosmetic flaws primarily confined to the binding. • Dust Jacket: None (see photos) Printing identification note: This copy conforms to known first American edition points for The Schirmer Inheritance, including publisher, date, and Borzoi imprint.
