My copy has some wear at the bottom of the spine..but for a buck I can live with that ;)<br /><br />I think <i>A Catalogue of Crime</i> praised MOAW as well.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14062628395256120383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2349490720042926019.post-75013562433664020402012-04-23T09:21:02.357-07:002012-04-23T09:21:02.357-07:00Some nice ones here.

One of the few depictions of him that is done really well.<br /><br />I found MURDER OF A WIFE a few weeks ago at myfavoirte used book shop. Been loooking for it ever since it was recommended by David Vineyard on one of his many lists posted at Mystery*File. I paid $25, but after removing it from its plastic wrapper in which it was encased for many years (judging by the ancient tape and dust) I discovered it was near perfect. Well worth the price, I'd say. But now I'm afraid to read it!<br /><br />I bet you paid next to nothing for your copy. In any case - it's a very scarce book and one of the few of those "rarities" that is worth reading. I guess anyone who owns a copy hangs onto it for life.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
