Former owner's very faint rubber stamp to the lower edge of the front end-paper, slight foxing to the page edges, corner tips bumped, black linen loosely puckered in places to the front and rear covers, else sound, sturdy and good plus with silver embossed titles and publisher's insignia to the spine; in a price-clipped very good dust jacket with delightful golden-age mystery art to the front panel, with some fading to the spine panel, small chips and short tears to the upper and lower spine ends, short edge tears clear-tape reinforced to the verso, and with rubbing to the front flap fold and front spine fold.
