Storm Music (Bright With Peril)

New York: Minton, Balch & Company, 1934. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine/Near Fine Minus. 8vo., 282pp. Sharp First Edition of this uncommon mystery, originally published as a serial in Women's Home Companion earlier in 1934 under the title Bright With Peril. Also published in the UK by Hodder & Stoughton. Bound in light blue cloth with lettering in navy on front board and spine. Square and tight with just a touch of wear at the spine ends but quite minor. Mild toning to edges and some light spotting in the hinge gutters. No toning or foxing to pages. Beautiful unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.00), has mild wear to edges and tips and a couple of tiny closed edge-tears. Some rubbing to hinges and folds. Light soiling to rear panel. Still quite fresh and bright with no chipping and quite scarce in any condition. A very pretty collectable copy and virtually impossible to find in the original American jacket. (Hubin, p.436).
