Publisher's blue cloth lettered in black, blue endpapers, illustrated dust-wrapper priced at 7/6. Typed notice with one ms. correction (possibly authorial) tipped in to p.11 Contents clean, binding rather bright. Autographed by Freeman on the title page, for his local library. This copy has one discreet stamp, tag to rear endpaper, and neat 'withdrawn' notice to front endpaper. Institutional marking aside, this is a clean, bright copy. Jacket chipped to crown, one-inch loss across foot. Shows well. A Dr. Thorndyke detective story collection. Dr Richard Austin Freeman lived in Gravesend, Kent, where at least one of his novels was based. He served on the Library Committee and as footpaths expert for Gravesend Historical Society, and signed their holdings of his books. In 2007 these were sold off to a friend of the Library, to raise funds (replacements were donated, a Kent County Council redacted letter of provenance was provided). A rare signed copy with guaranteed authenticity. Cooper and Pike; Detective Fiction p137-141.
