“Trill” [pseud. Harry C. Liebart]. The Sickle Murders
£650
London, Lincoln Williams, 1935.
First edition, first impression. Inscribed presentation copy from the author. 8vo. Original cloth. Dust-jacket, priced 3/6.
According to the Bear Alley blog the book is listed in the English Catalogue of Books as having appeared in February 1935 and it was listed under the pen-name “Trill”. The publisher Lincoln Williams went into administration in July 1935 so the book probably wasn’t reprinted. Trill was a pen name for Harry C. Liebart (as evidenced by the author’s inscription on the frontispiece, and according to Hubin). Very scarce in a jacket.
Out of stock
Light foxing; cloth slightly dulled and rubbed; jacket with edge wear, some loss to head of spine, fore-corners and top edge of lower panel, but front panel very good.
Jacket artwork by H.W. Perl. Frontispiece (inscribed on by the author).
