Sherlock Holmes and the Golden Bird 1979 First edition vintage paperback
Original price was: $12.00.$9.72Current price is: $9.72.
“Sherlock Holmes and the Golden Bird” by Frank Thomas, published by Pinnacle Books in 1979.
This is a “near fine” to “fine” vintage paperback with the only sign of wear being a faint crease on the front cover running parallel to the spine.
Amazing – I have seen books on Barnes and Nobles’ shelves which are not as nice as this.
