ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE THREE INVESTIGATORS #21 - THE SECRET OF THE HAUNTED MIRROR by M. V. CAREY, illustrated by ROGER HALL, published by UK publisher Collins, copyright 1975, First Printing (states "First Published in this edition 1975" on copyright page with no references to subsequent printings - there was only ever 1 printing the these later "tall" format UK HCs), blue graveyard illustrated endpapers, illustrated boards (same picture as on the dust jacket). ONLY #19-28 OF THE "TALL" FORMAT UK COLLINS 3 INVESTIGATOR BOOKS WERE PUBLISHED IN DUST JACKETS AND ALL ARE HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE/RARE (MOST WERE ONLY SOLD TO LIBRARIES - SO FINDING CLEAN COPIES OF THESE BOOKS FOR SALE ON THE MARKET IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE). THESE UK COLLINS ARE ALSO DESIREABLE BY COLLECTORS BECAUSE UNLIKE THE U.S. EDITIONS WHICH (STARTING WITH #15) ONLY HAD ARTWORK ON THE FRONT PANEL, THE UK "TALL" COLLINS HCS CONTINUED THE FULL "WRAP" ARTWORK FORMAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH #28. Book has no creased page corners from prior reading, slight dust soiling to outer page edges (no foxing/age darkening), endpapers are clean and free from any tape residue or foxing, no tearing or splitting of page block from internal hinges, pages not starting to age yellow at edges, no former owner's markings or used bookseller stamps/stickers inside, no wear to board edges or board corners or spine tips (common defect as normally these books are found with considerable "shelf rubbing" to bottom edges), no soiling or staining to boards, no exterior spine tears, tiny bumped board corner. Dust jacket has no chipping or tearing or creasing, barest hint of wear to top spine tip, no wear to front flap crease (barest hint of wear to flap crease corners), no edge wear, no soiling or staining, no dust rubbing, no peeling to cover gloss overcoat, NO SPINE SUN FADING (very common defect with these books - most copies of the UK DJs have spine fading - particularly on those DJs taken from ex-library books). Overall a N-FINE book in FINE-/N-FINE dust jacket (not price clipped - but unpriced for export sale) of a rare first hardcover printing UK Three Investigators book WITH RARE DUST JACKET. I have a number of other hardcover and paperback Three Investigator books up for sale. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1599809411656
