This is a VG copy foxed to the page block edges and the early/late pages of the book. There is surface loss to the spine 1.2 cm at the top and 2.2 cm at the bottom which now show the underlying webbing however most of the original spine is still present. McIlvaine E 126. Inexplicably uncommon the only other copy that I can find for sale had the spine replaced by a later linen spine. This copy is un-touched original and rare. Newnes hardcover
1930355490717538London: Herbert Jenkins 1930. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Publisher's orange cloth with black lettering and decorations. Offsetting to both the front and rear end-papers foxing to the page block edges some fading to the extremities of the boards and a couple of small bumps overall a VG copy.

1928355490717537London: Herbert Jenkins 1928. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. First UK Edition. Publisher's bright orange cloth with black letters and decorations. Offsetting to both the front and rear end-papers some fading to the spine and also to the extremities of the boards overall a VG copy. IN THE VERY RARE D/W priced 7/6 net to the spine as called for. Although the D/W is correctly priced at 7/6 we believe that it may be a First Edition second state. The first state " should show Meet Mr Mulliner at 7/6d to the front flap rather than 2/6d as is shown here. NB: The D/W remains extremely rare in both first and second states. The spine of the D/W is faded from salmon-pink to a paler orange and there is minor shallow chipping at the spine ends and folds not affecting any lettering. Particularly scarce in D/W this is a true PGW rarity especially in collectible condition. McIlvaine A39a. Scans invited. Herbert Jenkins hardcover

A former owner's neat - rather faint - name to the front free end-paper otherwise a fine copy. In the RARE D/W priced 7/6 net on green label to the spine. The D/W is the correct first issue with 26 titles by J. S. Fletcher to the front flap and 14 titles to the rear flap by Wyndham Martyn. The D/W is VG indeed with small chips to the spine ends not affecting any lettering and with a small chip with associated creasing to the bottom/middle of the back panel not affecting any lettering. The D/W has several insignificant short closed tears which do not detract from what is overall a very nice bright and un-faded copy of one of the scarcer PGW first editions in our experience from the 1930's.
