The Penrose Mystery
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1936. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good / Very Good. Item #007541
8vo., 317(3)pp. Solid stated First Printing, bound in publisher's light blue cloth with titles stamped in navy on front cover and spine. Square, tight and mostly clean throughout with a bit of foxing spots primarily to page outer edges. Some off-setting/discoloration to paste-downs. A touch of wear to edges and tips but fairly minor. Attractive unclipped dust jacket, ($6/ net), has some light professional restoration to spine ends and extremities. A bit wrinkly but not really creased. Still quite fresh and bright with no chipping or tears. Possible a scarce variant or a later DJ married to the first printing? Either way, this is a quite uncommon example in any condition. A very pretty collectable copy. (Hubin, p.153).
