The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side
By Agatha Christie
First edition, first impression. A Miss Marple novel and the subject of several TV and film adaptations.
Original red cloth with black lettering to spine. Some browning/off-setting to front and rear endpapers and paste-downs with a few spots to edges, mainly to the top. Otherwise very good and clean internally.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has a closed tear to spine head and a couple of other smaller nicks to edges. A couple of areas light staining to upper and lower panels with a soft vertical crease running along upper panel that is only visible upon inspection of the reverse of the jacket. Very good.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
By Douglas Adams
First paperback edition, first impression. Inscribed by the author to the inside front cover: 'Best Wishes, Douglas Adams'. The paperback is the true first edition and precedes the hardback which was issued later in the same year.
Edges toned, as usual. Slight rubbing to extremities of wraps with the odd scratch to edges, otherwise an excellent example.
Adam's enduring iconic work based on the radio series of the same name. Rare with these attributes.

A superb, bright and near fine copy overall.
