About This Item
London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1936. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. Signed by Author. First UK Edition. Original blue cloth lettered in black. A VG+ copy in like slightly spine-faded D/W. Signed and dated by the Author on the title page: R Austin Freeman/ 218th May 1936". A card (with the author's address engraved in red thereon and dated 18th May 1936) has been attached to the front free end-paper upon which the Author has written: "Dear Miss McInnes, I have autographed this/ book on the title page & hope this will meet your/ requirements. I also hope that you will like the/ book. with best wishes/ yours sincerely/ R Austin Freeman". I suspect this book may have been a gift from the recipient to another person as there is a further inscription (not in the Author's hand) on the half-title: Aubrey Nicholson from Freda 1936. Increasingly uncommon and rare with these attributes.
