Small 8vo., 190pp. Beautiful First UK Edition of this anthology of six Saint stories. Bound in dark red cloth with titles and "Saint" figural in gilt on spine. Square, tight and clean throughout save jut a few scattered spots on the fore-edge. Little or no wear or page toning. Very attractive unclipped dust-jacket, (7/6 net sticker over original 12 /6 printed price though likely applied by publisher as well), has some mild wear to spine ends and tips and some surface rubbing to the rear panel. Still quite fresh and bright with no chipping, creases or tears. Laid in is a 5.25" x 3.5" signed photo of Charteris where he also doodles a small haloed Saint stick-figure.
