The Black Ghost

London: John Hamilton, LTD, 1930. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo., 297pp. Solid First Edition of this uncommon Golden Age mystery, part of the Sundial Mystery Library. Not dated but 1930. Bound in blue cloth with titles in black on front board and spine. Square and tight with mild wear to edges and spin ends. A bit of toning to top of board edges and a spot of light spoiling here and there. Little if any interior toning but end-papers and out edges of text blocked foxed. Attractive, and quite scarce, unclipped dust-jacket, (2/6 on the spine panel), has a chip and the crown and some chipping and staining to the front fold. A couple of short closed edge-tears and edge-wear. Rear panel rubbed. Still bright and complete and very tough to find in any condition. A sharp collectable copy at a great price. (Hubin p.413).
