About This Item
Here is a rare first edition of Dorothy L. Sayers' "Have His Carcase." Sayers was one of the "Queens of Crime," alongside Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, and Mary Allingham. She was a prolific crime writer during the golden age of crime fiction, and her novel "Have His Carcase" was published during the peak of this golden age. It is the seventh novel to feature Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey and the second to include his love interest, Harriet Vane. Good Condition. Black cloth with red titles to spine. Binding is firm. Both hinges are moderately cracked causing boards to be slightly loose. Pen marks from previous owner to front pastedown and free end paper. Pages are clean with minimal tanning and foxing. Boards have moderate edge-wear with some fraying to spine ends and corners. Otherwise a sound copy.
