Elegant Edward

London: The Readers Library Publishing Company, 1928. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine/Very Good. 12mo., 182pp. plus 6 pages of ads. Beautiful just about Fine First Edition of this anthology of stories about a criminal. Square, tight and clean throughout with fairly minor page edge toning. Trivial wear at the spine end. A remarkably well-preserved copy from a publisher notorious for their cheaply produced books. Very attractive unclipped, though unpriced, dust-jacket, has a couple of small chips at the spine ends and some edge-wear. A couple of short closed tears. Still quite bright and complete and uncommon in any condition. A very pretty collectable copy of an uncommon title, particularly on this side of the Atlantic and in such nice condition.
