John G Brandon - Death In Jermyn Street (Wright And Brown) First Edition W/ DJ

Scarce first UK edition of this thriller, published by Wright and Brown.

From a small private collection of hardback crime and detective novels with their scarce original dustwrappers ex of 'Avery's Lending Library', a small subscription library from the pretty harbour town of Whitstable in Kent. Run by George Avery from his house at 92 Harbour Street, the library was in operation for a short time from the early 1940s to the early 1950s, following Avery's death in 1951. The books have been in storage since. As pictured, all have an Avery's Lending Library sheet tipped in to ffep and their condition is generally commensurate with age and use.

Original illustrated wraps with wear and some chipping to edges with some internal tape repairs; note loss to top left corner; unclipped. Red cloth boards with some slight wear, as pictured. Library stamp tipped in to ffep. Binding is sound with a slight lean. No inscriptions. Page block quite clean and neat. Good.

Will be boxed for postage.

Please do feel free to get in touch with any questions and the best of luck!
