The black covers are fresh, with minor wear at tips and corners. There is a gift inscription to a former owner on the front free end paper, but no other marks or signs of previous use. The interior of the book is clean and tight.
This is the first printing of the first edition, with a complete number line. Only the Colonel's daughter, the precocious Flavia -when she's not plotting elaborate revenges against her nasty older sisters in her basement chemical laboratory, that is - has the ingenuity to follow the clues that reveal the victim's identity, and a conspiracy that reached back into the de Luce… The police are baffled, and when a dead snipe is deposited on the Colonel's doorstep with a rare stamp impaled on its beak, they are baffled even more. It is June 1950 and a sleepy English village is about to be awakened by the discovery of a dead body in Colonel de Luce's cucumber patch. This book is available and ready to be shipped. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact.
Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting.
