About This Item
New York: Dodd Mead & Company, 1929. English novelist Walter Frederick Morris (1892-1975) wrote this mystery based upon actual events during World War One; it was issued in the UK by Geoffrey Bles with the title "Bretherton." Eric Ambler, the master, thought highly of it. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the Third Printing (stated) of the First American Edition, lacking the dustjacket. Despite going to multiple printings, and with a popular edition by Grosset & Dunlap, it is rather an uncommon title. Yellow cloth binding with red titling on the spine and front cover, which is ruled in black witha black German helmet. Clean text; 306 pages; red topstain, others deckle. Very lightly bumped (kissed, really); spine darkened but lettering remains bright and clear. Light rub to head and foot. A solid copy.. Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
