The Man Who Knew Too Much
New York: Harper and Brothers, 1922.
Price: $1,250.00
Hardcover. First American edition. Fine in a slightly age-toned, near fine dustwrapper with a couple of tiny nicks and tears, and very faint stains. A collection of stories following the exploits of gentleman detective Horne Fisher (basis in name only for the eponymous Alfred Hitchcock films but classic stories in their own right). A lovely copy of a very scarce and desirable title, seldom found in jacket.
