Corbett (James) Her Private Murder
£250
London, Herbert Jenkins, [1932].
First edition. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket, with publisher’s 3/6 price-sticker on top of original 2/6 price.
A scarce early title by this prolific author, who wrote over forty novels, often with a flair for unusual phrasing that would be lucky to escape the editor’s blue pencil these days.
In stock
Old ownership inscription to front pastedown, jacket spine slightly toned, otherwise VG+/VG+.
