NY: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1981. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Very good. First edition, first printing. Binding is sunned across the top edge, lightly soiled, and the cloth spine and gilt lightly faded else a very good copy. Dustwrapper is not price-clipped. It has a trace of wear along the head and tail of the spine, a short 1/4 inch closed tear with some creasing on the top edge of the rear panel, else near fine. The spine is not sunned as is so often the case. The second Amelia Peabody mystery and by far the scarcest.
