Hardback in price-clipped dustwrapper. 236pp. 7.5 x 5 inches approx. (190mm x 130mm).
Dustwrapper a touch worn and rubbed; some creasing to spine ends; light sunning/fade to spine; toning/foxing and offsetting however in the main only visible to reverse side; some dustiness.

Dealer Notes
The story ‘The Third Bullet’ was originally published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1937 under Carr’s pseudonym Carter Dickson, this version in a shorter form together with six other short stories.
Interestingly, although a publisher’s edition this copy was supplied through a book club – see gum backed label to title page.
