Agatha Christie - The Witness for the Prosecution and Three Blind Mice. Dust jacket: N/A (none present). Cover: Tan cloth boards with red lettering.
Moderate rubbing wear to edges, and the spine is slightly cocked. Text block: Secure binding and clean pages except for foxing, most prevalent on the endpapers and interspersed throughout. Other issues: Light pencil impressions on the endpapers.This is the true first hardback printing and edition of both stories, aside from their prior magazine and newspaper publications. It predates the assumed first edition of The Witness for the Prosecution by several months and Three Blind Mice by two years before its inclusion in a collected short story edition.
Agatha Christie's The Witness for the Prosecution and Three Blind Mice are two of her most famous works, both adapted into successful stage plays and television productions. This scarce early hardback printing is a collectible for Christie fans and mystery enthusiasts alike. No marks or tears to the text block other than those noted. Let me know if you would like any additional photos or information.
