Dell Map back “Ride the Pink Horse” 1946 First Dell printing Murder mystery Dorothy B. Hughes Vintage paperback
Original price was: $33.00.$26.73Current price is: $26.73.
This is a “good plus” vintage paperback with the desirable “map back” design that Dell Books popularized in the Forties, published in 1946.
The binding is solid, not cracked or shook. The reason I have graded this as just “good plus” is that there is what appears to be some predation at the top of the spine. Otherwise complete and solid. Text block closes tightly, a hint of roll. Much of the glossy coating appears to have come off the covers. Original owner names penned inside front free endpaper, otherwise no writing, no torn pages.
Super fun! This is one of Ms. Hughes best known of 14 crime noir novels, and it was made into a film by Robert Montgomery in 1947.

Dell “map back” mystery Agatha Christie “The Murder at the Vicarage” Vintage 1948 paperback
Original price was: $184.00.$149.04Current price is: $149.04.
This is a "very good minus" vintage paperback with a solid binding, no significant flaws to speak of, aside from a couple of brief numerical annotations in the end papers, no writing, no loose, torn or folded pages. Text block edges are somewhat thumbed and show some tanning. Front cover has a hint of curl to it, clear coating is present on boards, however, has lifted from spine, which is sunned.
Still, a very pleasing copy, with that famous Dell map back dynamic artwork! This edition has begun to become rather scarce. See accompanying images for full condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged to arrive safely to you!
