The Man Who Knew Too Much and Other Stories

London: Cassell and Company, (1922).

Price: $6,000.00

Hardcover. First edition. Fine in a very attractive, near fine dustwrapper with shallow chipping at the top of the spine. 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.
