Agatha Christie - By the Pricking of My Thumbs - First Edition

CHRISTIE, Agatha (1890-1976).

By the Pricking of My Thumbs.

London: Published for The Crime Club by Collins, 1968.

FIRST EDITION, first printing. Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.255; [1]. Publisher's green cloth lettered in gilt to spine. Dust-jacket designed by Kenneth Farnhill, with printed price of 21s. net to front flap.

Lightly toned and spotted to edges. Dust-jacket a little rubbed and marked, marginally sunned to spine with a couple of faint splash marks. Very good.

Brilliantly sustained mystery is always to be found in a novel by Agatha Christie, but her latest story contains an extra element, and might equally well have been entitled By the Chilling of Your Spine.
