About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown and Co., (1961.) 1st edition. In a custom fine leather binding. A sports mystery story by Matt Christopher (1917-1997), prolific author of books and stories for young readers. In this novel, a boy sets out to crack the case of who is stealing from his locker during basketball practice. 128 pages. Illustrated. 7.5 x 5.25 inches. Handsomely bound in dark blue leather (spine and corners) and blue linen. Gilt lettering and decoration. Gilt top page edge. VG with modest wear and signs of age, Some spotting of the page edges, but text clean and unmarked. An unusually nice binding for a book of this type. Evidently one of the special "author's editions" noted by Winthrop University of South Carolina, which houses Christopher's books and papers. No binder's name or other marks. Scarce thus.
