Agatha Christie – At Bertram’s Hotel – First UK Edition 1965
£195.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Collins in London, 1965. A very good copy. The dust wrapper has not been price clipped, displaying the original 16s. Some wear to the spine tips and corners – some rubbing to the sides of the spine – a little light rippling to the rear panel. The boards are free from notable chips and marks and the text blocks are bright and white, free from foxing. No inscriptions within and exceptionally clean within the book. Overall, this is a very good copy.

Overall, this is a near fine copy.
It features the detective Miss Marple. Miss Marple takes a two-week holiday in London, at Bertram’s Hotel, where she stayed in her youth. The hotel has a personality of its own, and a niche clientele of important church people, older women who lived through the Edwardian age, and girls looking for a safe place to stay in London. Miss Marple enjoys her trips around London, and learns that she cannot go back: life moves forward.
