J. S. Fletcher The Paradise Mystery (1920) First edition Very RARE

  

Alfred A Knopf - New York. This is extremely rare, cannot see another one available for sale. This one is ex-library, The Mechanics Institute of Montreal to be precise. There is a label on the inside front and marks where two more labels had been on the back inside cover and last endpaper.

There are no more library signs within the book. There has been a mend made at the top of page 92 with brown paper and that colour has permeated onto next page - see photo.

And there has been a tear which hasn't been mended at the foot of page 181 - also pictured. There are occasional fox spots within the book with 306 tightly bound, mostly clean of any marks, pages.
