8vo., 428pp. Sharp First Edition, bound in original maroon cloth. Square, tight and clean throughout. A touch of wear to spine ends but quite minor. Paper splitting along the front gutter but hinge intact and secure. A very well preserved copy. Equally attractive unclipped pictorial dust jacket, ($2.50) has some rubbing to hinges and folds. Some edge-wear and a couple of tiny nicks at the crown. Spine panel lightly soiled. Still bright, fresh and a simply gorgeous example of Art Deco cover illustration. Taken from the oil painting of Irvin Shope portraying a nude in a library. Protected with Mylar. The second novel in the Vridar Hunter tetralogy. A very pretty copy and uncommon in any condition.
