first edition Hardcover
1942
by Gardner, Erle Stanley
Morrow, 1942. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. A good first edition in a good dust jacket, trimmed at top and bottom and glued to the endpapers of the book and lined with brown paper. Probably removable but not without damaging the book and the jacket. Still, an uncommon early first edition in the Perry Mason series. With matching date on title page and copyright page and no mention of later printings on the copyright page, and with original price of $2 still on the front flap. Offsetting from removed tape on jacket flaps and inside front pastedowns.
