Item description from seller

First UK Edition. Publisher's black boards with red lettering to the spine. A faint crease to the front board possibly caused by a production fault) otherwise a near fine copy with no inscriptions and foxing to the text block. In the RARE dustwrapper priced 8/6 net to the spine (as called for). The dustwrapper is VG indeed and is rubbed to the spine edges and has a slither of loss at the base of the spine. There are several, small, minor edge tears which have been neatly repaired on the verso with archival tape. The spine is slightly darkened (a common fault with Gollancz yellow dustwrappers of this period). The first edition is distinctly uncommon in dustwrapper. Looks very nice in its shiny Brodart-style protector. Appleby # 4. A country-house mystery. Photographs/scans available upon request.
