Murder Walks the Stairs

New York: Arcadia House, 1954. First Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket. 8vo. Pp. 224. Full cloth with stamped device on front cover, stamped lettering on spine. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Fine / Fine. Item #1256

A boilerplate mystery, replete with a dark, secluded mansion, but set on Puget Sound and featuring a Northwest lumber baron. Cool d.j. design, in notably fresh condition. As with many Arcadia titles, the publisher affixed a protector to the dust jacket, but the upper black trim of the protector deteriorates, plaguing the upper edge of the dust jacket with a black, biodegraded residue. This copy is devoid of that affliction, and presents itself almost as new. Uncommon. Dust jacket now protected in a new, clear, removable archival sleeve.

Price: $30.00
