The Last Woman In His Life - EXCEPTIONAL COPY

Gollancz London, 1970 By 1970 Gollancz were using a laminated finish on most of their famous yellow jackets, which improved the survival of them. This one is an excellent example, and it is also protected in mylar. Bright and unfaded, unclipped, without creases or chips. Excellent collectable copy of the hardback first edition, first impression. FINE when you take account of the age. Among the most popular, famous and influential authors of detective fiction, few could challenge the position of Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee, the Brooklyn cousins who collaborated on the Ellery Queen novels. The early titles, especially, are noted for their bizarre circumstances, including a murder during a Broadway show, in a department store window, in a hospital operating room and on a trolley car. One victim is found nude except for an opera cape on a beach, another is crucified, and another is found with all his clothes on backwards and the entire room in reversethe rug upside down, pictures facing the wall. In spite of their popularity the early Queen books are very hard to find in nice condition with clean, attractive dust jackets. First editions of early titles in jackets sell for thousands of dollars, if they can be found. Language: eng Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng 0.0 Language: eng. 1st Edition..
