The Ghost of Down Hill (The Readers Library #270)

London: The Readers Library Publishing Company, 1929. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 12mo., 188pp. Sharp First Edition, part of the Readers Library "Crime Series" though the title story is science fiction. Also includes the story "The Queen of Sheba's belt" . Undated but 1929. Though Readers Library editions are notoriously flimsily made, this is square, tight and clean throughout with very mild wear to edges and tips. Little if any toning and no foxing. Well-preserved unclipped, though unpriced, dust-jacket, has a few tiny nicks to the spine ends and tips. Still fresh and bright with no creases, toning or tears. A gorgeous copy of a scarce title, particularly in such superior condition. (Hubin, p.411).
