hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. Publication: London, Chatto & Windus, 1968 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 223. Condition Report Near Fine. The original magenta cloth binding remains remarkably tight and square, featuring unbumped corners and gleaming gilt tooling to the spine, indicating careful storage and limited handling. The text block is structurally sound, showing only mild, uniform age-toning to the pages and faint dust-spotting along the top edge. The original dust wrapper is wonderfully bright and vibrant, exhibiting no significant fading, though it presents with very slight toning to the extremities and the spine head. Crucially, the wrapper remains unclipped, displaying the original 21s net price on the lower front flap, and is perfectly preserved within a clear protective sleeve. Catalogue Note This is a true first edition, first printing of Margery Allingham's final Albert Campion novel. Left incomplete upon her death in 1966, the manuscript was finalised at her request by her husband and long-time collaborator, Philip Youngman Carter. Carter also designed the striking, iconic dust wrappers for much of Allingham's post-war output, including the vibrant eagle motif presented on this volume. While reading copies of this title are widely available, securing a true first printing in such an excellent, well-preserved state, and retaining an unclipped, bright dust jacket, is becoming increasingly uncommon on the open market. In Margery Allingham's thrilling swan song, the inimitable Albert Campion is drawn to the secretive Essex coastal village of Saltey, a historic haven for smugglers known as 'old London's eastern emergency exit'. What begins as a seemingly modest inquiry into a bequeathed cottage, anonymous letters, and unruly teenage gangs soon descends into a treacherous hunt for hidden treasure. Campion finds himself navigating a dangerous web of spies, local eccentrics, and the legendary Saltey Demon in a gripping, atmospheric finale to one of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction's most celebrated series.

According to the Oxford DNB entry on Carter's wife the crime writer Margery Allingham (whose book jackets were among those he designed): 'Their amiable, childless marriage was funded by Allingham's increasingly successful fiction. And, although Youngman Carter assisted his wife as a sounding board for plot design, and by producing covers and illustrations for her work, he found it difficult to sell his art. Allingham supported his increasingly expensive tastes until after the Second World War, when Pip came into his own writing society columns for The Tatler, which he edited from 1954.' For the letters' recipient E. V. Knox, editor of Punch from 1932 to 1949, see his entry in the Oxford DNB. The letters are in good condition, lightly aged; the galley proof is on the usual cheap paper, discoloured and chipping. (The first two of the four books reviewed by Knox in the proof are crime novels: quite appropriately considering Carter's wife and Knox's brother Ronald, author of the celebrated 'Ten Commandments' of detective fiction.) All eight letters signed 'Youngman Carter'. Three of the eight letters are in autograph: two from 1953 and the other undated. The letters are businesslike, exclusively concerned with the practicalities of reviewing (the sending of copy, 'wordage', deadlines, arrangements for a holiday 'deputy'. On one occasion he asks Knox to send 'an article concerning itself with recommended reading for the Festival [of Britain]', on another he asks him to review H. E. Bates's 'The Face of England', as its illustrator, an 'artist called Kirsting' has 'himself been very kind and unassuming to us in other directions'. On 14 May 1953 he asks Knox to review 'The Christs Hospital Book', of which Carter is 'the most insignificant of the editors'. He explains that he is drawing Knox's attention to 'its existence because the subject is naturally very near my heart, although I think it can stand on its own legs. It is a labour of love by one and all concerned: if you can think it worth a line or so I would be deeply grateful'. The galley proof ('Book Reviews | By E. V. Knox | Holiday Amusements') is headed 'B?20-7?TATLER?July 29 Book Review?1 9-pt. Baskerville'. It can be dated to 1953 from the publication dates of the four books reviewed: 'Post Mortem' by Guy Cullingford ('I rank Mr. Guy Cullingford's Gilbert Worth very high among murderees.'); 'Symphony in Murder' by Amelia R. Long ('And who fired the pistol, and how? If you can discover before the last chapter, in which the whole orchestra is brought into the house for a demonstration by the Homicide Bureau, you deserve a free ticket for the Festival Hall.'); 'Things I Don't Remember' by Jeanne de Casalis (the author 'has a charming way of confusing reminiscence with fiction'); and 'Regional Books' published by Robert Hale. There are three proof corrections by Knox. From the E. V. Knox papers.…
