About This Item
London: Paul Hamlyn, 1969. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Three mysteries, originally published 1926-1952, collected in one volume as part of the "Agatha Christie Crime Collection" series. Handsome hardcover in black boards with red and gilt titling and decoration to the spine and front cover; unattractive dust jacket. Top edge dyed red. The book is graded Very Good, though it has the previous owner's name written on the ffep, a mild reading slant, and a faint brownish damp stain to the bottom of the text block. Internally there are a couple of brownish spots as well. The dust jacket, while essentially complete, is wrinkled, edge rubbed and damp stained.

About Pulp & Circumstance
Welcome to Pulp & Circumstance on Biblio. Once a brick and mortar bookseller, I am pleased that I can now offer scarce and/or collectible books and other items via this platform.
P&C strives to ensure that all items are clean and fairly described. Packages will be wrapped with care and dispatched as soon as feasible, usually on the next business day.
We do not use stock photos. All our photos are of the actual item offered for sale. We try to include the publishers' own descriptions of content by including photos of dust jacket flaps and back covers so far as they seem useful, and we also use photos to show material flaws where we can.
The "Pulp & Circumstance" watermark you might notice in some of our photos does not, of course, appear on any of the items themselves.
Please note that the colour in our photos often fails to come out right. The hue shifts a bit due to the limitations of our equipment, the lighting in our workshop, and of course my own lack of photographic expertise.
Shipping costs per book are always cheaper when more than one book is sent in the same package. Read more about shipping charges in "Terms of Sale" below.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have by email. We will usually respond within 24 hours. Happy browsing!
