The Bartenstein Mystery

New York: Lincoln MacVeagh / The Dial Press, 1927. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo., 211pp. Solid First Edition. Bound in yellow cloth with titles in red on front board and spine. Square, tight and clean throughout with no toning or foxing to pages. Mild wear to edges and tips. Soiling to cloth boards. Unfaded red top-stain though it is possible it was re-touched. Gorgeous unclipped dust-jacket, ($1.75), has a tiny closed tear on the top front edge that is almost unnoticeable. Fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or toning. Remarkably well-preserved. A very pretty collectable copy and quite uncommon in any condition and scarce in such a stunning dust-jacket. (Hubin, p.145).
