G.K. Chesterton – The Innocence of Father Brown – First UK Edition 1911
£365.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Cassell in London, 1911. This is a near fine copy. The deep red buckram is slightly blemished in places, notably at the spine and front panel. The gilt titling is bright and clean throughout. There is a small nick to the bottom of the spine and bumping at the spine tips. There is one small nick to the front hinge. The internals are mostly clean, though with some very slight foxing to the prelims. The frontispiece is with the tissue guard. The text blocks are slightly toned. Overall, this is a near fine copy.
Detective Father Brown busses his skills sparingly to unravel murders when others have tried and usually failed to come to the right conclusions…
