CAT OF MANY TAILS

Ellery Queen

New: Little Brown and Co., 1949

First edition

Publisher’s original cloth. Very good plus condition in a heavily taped original dust jacket not price-clipped. The jacket has cello tape on front area of the spine and cello tape on the verso. The jacket will come with a removable jacket protector which greatly improves the appearance.

For some reason the jacket paper was prone to falling apart.

The book is very good plus condition and is not all that common to find a copy in first edition. Many mistake a book club edition with Roman Numerals on the verso of the title page as bring a first printing. The verso of the title page must state “First Edition.”
