ont> Dodd, Mead and Company : New York, 1930 Book. Very Good. Hardcover. The first U. S edition of this important Agatha Christie novel. Being the first appearance of Christie's favourite detective creation, Miss Marple. Extremely scarce, with the publisher's original dustwrapper, which is a rare survival. The first novel to feature Christie's famous elderly amateur detective, Miss Marple. Previously Marple had featured in some short stories published in The Royal Magazine and Story Teller Magazine. Marple was based on Christie's own step-grandmother and her cronies. The Murder at The Vicarage follows the amateur detective Miss Marple in this whodunit novel. A story of the 'village mystery' genre, Marple solves the murder of despised villager Colonel Lucius Protheroe who is found murdered in the vicar's study. Agatha Christie is one of the most prolific crime writers of the twentieth century and her work consists of 66 detective novels, 150 short stories and 19 plays; she is the writer of the world's longest running play, The Mousetrap which has been on stage since 1952. Christie is also one of the bestselling novelists of all time and her works rank highly in the most-widely published books. A very bright copy of this important novel. Condition: In the publisher's original cloth binding. With original dustwrapper. Externally, excellent with minor shelfwear. Dustwrapper is very bright. Chipping to the head and tail of spine. Light chips to the head and tail of flyleaf joints. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright. Small spot to the fore-edge. Otherwise, pages are clean. Overall Condition: Fine.

Colorado Springs, Colorado: Byron H. Gurnsey, 1875. Original stereoview: albumen prints mounted on printed card stock. A rare and highly sought-after western stereoview showing a group of Ute males in front of the photographer's studio on Pike's Peak Avenue in Colorado Springs circa 1875. Most of the men are holding weapons; one of them has both a Maynard Carbine (the first one with a folding sight) and a Colt Model 1860 army revolver. This stereoview is from the collection of Robert N. Dennis, who was one of the most important stereoview collectors in the U. S. The New York Public Library's "Robert N. Dennis Collection" includes more than 70,000 stereoviews from his collection, many of which can be viewed on the library's website. The albumen prints are clean and bright, with very good contrast. The mount is clean, with a hint of edgewear and another previous owner's name written neatly on the back. Also on the back of the mount someone has written the title, "Ute Indians" in pencil.. First…
