First Penguin Books edition of "The Murder on the Links" by Agatha Christie (No. 6A in the series), published 1936, sporting green covers denoting crime fiction genre.

Condition is VG+/NF with the slightest rubbing to the spine corners. The contents are secure and clean with the slightest age-browning around the edges of the pages. There is no inscription, other than from a previous book seller, in pencil (see photos).

The scarce, unclipped dustwrapper has shelf wear with some soiling and the spine is browned with wear to the spine edges. Small pieces are missing from the spine ends and bottom front corner. There are small tears on the rear corners and splits to large parts of the spine edges. These tears and splits have been repaired on the reverse with tape. It also appears that the front flap may have been detached in the past and has been repaired on the reverse with thin strips of tape. The wrapper is in an easily removed clear plastic protective cover.

One of the scarcest of all the pre-war Penguins, it's in quite exceptional condition and is an a genuine collectors item. I've seen no more than a handful of copies of this book over the last 25 years or so, and none of them have been in anything like this condition. A gem!
