Description
First edition, first printing published by The Amalgamated Press, London, in 1934. Issue No. 295, dated 29th September.
A very good example in the original striking pictorial paper wrappers. Some age-toning and light handling wear, with the cover illustration retaining strong colour. The upper cover prominently announces ‘AGATHA CHRISTIE—Complete Story Inside!’, above the dramatic artwork for Edmund Snell’s ‘The Sign of the Red Arab’.
Contains Christie’s Parker Pyne story ‘The £10 Adventure’, also known as ‘The Case of the City Clerk’. An uncommon and visually appealing piece of Christie collecting, combining an early magazine appearance with a particularly bold cover. This is the story’s appearance in ‘The Thriller’, rather than its first publication.
