About this Item

First Edition Thus; A Good plus book in a Very Good dust jacket. SIGNED, inscribed, and dated by the author to the title page. A handsome copy of this reprint of Du Maurier's first published novel; as of this listing, the only signed copy available on the online market. This was Ms. Du Maurier's first novel, followed up by a multitude of classic 20th century fiction, including "Rebecca", "My Cousin Rachel" and "The Scapegoat". This copy is in good or better condition with a completely intact binding, gold lettering over bright red boards, and clean pages throughout; the book shows rubbing and staining to the text block and boards, a mild bow to the front board, minor fading to the spine, and some light rubbing to the spine ends and edges. Housed in an intact, original, very good dust jacket that shows light browning to the spine, some moderate rubbing and chipping to the ends, edges, and corners, a couple of short closed tears, most significantly to the spine, and some light staining to the bottom of the back panel and back flap. Overall, a presentable and collectible copy of a book very scarce signed by Du Maurier; not remaindered, not price clipped ($3.95 intact), not ex-library; in a fresh Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
