About This Item
London : Victor Gollancz, 1969. First edition. Introducing Appleby's son, young Bobby - "Together they investigate an ingenious, amusing, and profitable art fraud with agreeable overtones of practical joke and problems of deduction ... pleasant characters behaving rather well; settings of various degrees of elegance; a whiff of 'Varsity nostalgia, and a clink of port glass and decanter. In short, civilized, beguiling reading ... consummate craftsmanship and expertise" (Illustrated London News, 11th January 1969). Later published in the USA as "Picture of Guilt". Post 8vo (21cm). (222),[ii]pp. Original orange-red boards, lettered in gilt; a touch of bruising to bottom edge, but otherwise a very good, clean and sound copy in the dust-jacket - the jacket price-clipped, a touch darkened, with some light wear and some short repaired tears, but still presentable.
