First Edition, Horror, Modern First Editions
Psycho
By Robert Bloch
First edition, first impression (Simon and Schuster, 1959). Adapted into the famous Alfred Hitchcock film in 1960.
Quarter-bound in cream cloth with black boards. Toning to edges with a chip to fore-edge of opening page of Chapter One and small closed tear to fore-edge of pages 5-9. Free from previous owner names and inscriptions. The original and unclipped dust jacket is slightly smaller than the book, suggesting that it may have been trimmed; moderate rubbing and chipping in places with a tear to spine foot and to lower panel fore-edge, but still a very good copy overall.

A House for Mr Biswas
By V.S. Naipaul
First American edition, first impression (McGraw-Hill, 1961). Jacket design by Stephen Russ.
Original dark green cloth with white lettering to spine. Just a hint of knocking and rubbing to extremities, else fine and internally pristine without names or inscriptions. The original dust jacket is clipped to bottom corner of front flap, but still bears the original '$5.95' price; a few small nicks to spine head with a touch of rubbing here and there. A lovely and bright near fine copy of the author's most iconic work.

Very Good, Jeeves
By P.G. Wodehouse
First edition, second impression (Herbert Jenkins, 1931).
Minor spine slant with some mild rolling to spine ends; gift inscription to front endpaper dated 1934; mild scattered foxing to edges; contents very nice and clean, except for a touch of very faint and occasional spotting to first and last few pages. Very good indeed.
The dust jacket has a significant amount of loss to spine ends and to lower panel with several small nicks and tears; occasional abrasion to edges and to fore-edge of upper panel; some discreet tape reinforcements to verso.
