Zustand: VERY GOOD. First US printing. A Crime Club selection. An Inspector Arnold mystery, published in the UK as 'This Undesirable Residence.' An uncommon title by this writer (who also wrote mysteries under the name of John Rhode.) Pencilled notation indicating that this was from a store's lending library - stamp of store on endpaper, but no other markings. The dustjacket was originally covered by an old-style protector with black edges - and these black edges left some marks on the endpapers. Otherwise the book is in very good condition and the dustjacket is in exceptionally good condition - bright and attractive with only the slightest bit of fading to the red on the spine, and a small amount of dampstaining visible on the upper corner of the front flap.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition / First Print. Hardback copy in black cloth boards with green lettering to front and spine, no dustjacket. 286pp. Pictorial endpapers. Not library copy, no inscriptions. (32/2).

Third printing of the 1928 first edition. Publisher's original red cloth with black titles to the upper board and spine, in the Abbey illustrated dustwrapper. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has a small chip to the top right corner of the spine and remnants of a paper label over the 3/6 printed publisher's price. The artwork is the same as that of the first printing. An attractive example of an uncommon early Dr. Priestley title in dustwrapper. (Hubin).
