Spy Catchers 31 Stories by Bernard Newman 1945 Vintage hardcover from Dark Harbor Maine
Original price was: $104.00.$84.24Current price is: $84.24.
This is a “very good-” or better vintage blue cloth wrapped hardcover published in 1945 in Great Britain Gollancz, 191 pages.
First edition.
Binding is tight, no loose, torn or folded pages. There is a Public Library book plate affixed inside the front paste down dated January 1946, library being the Public Library of Dark Harbor, Maine. Opposite, on the front free end paper is a blue color pencil gift inscription marked from London and dated june 1945, otherwise no marks. Board corners are lightly bumped, with some wear at tips on cloth. Spine head and tail are bumped, edges sunned. Blue cloth boards are relatively even.
The matching dust wrapper is not clipped. Fairly well tanned on front and spine, back less so. Circular loss at mid-section of back board flap fold and at spine head and tail. No significant tears or writing. Looks like possible ghost of a removed label on front board upper outer corner.
Fun vintage, war-era espionage stories! Scarce title.
