Sobre este artículo
London: 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.

It's a close-run thing...
