Between the Covers

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in near fine dustwrapper with a modest triangular chip at the top of the front panel where it meets the spine. A publisher's dummy, reproducing the title page and first six pages of text several times over, with most of the text pages blank. A previous owner has used a few of the blank pages to make a penciled list of books. The second mystery to pair Ebenezer Gryce and Caleb Sweetwater, by the "godmother" of detective fiction. Rare in this format, or with jacket.
