John Wyndham, Modern First Editions, Science Fiction
Planet Plane
By John Beynon (John Wyndham)
First edition, first impression in the rare green first issue cloth, rather than the later yellow binding. Later re-published under the title 'Stowaway to Mars'. The author's second science fiction novel and third published novel overall, preceding those he wrote as 'John Wyndham', such as 'The Day of the Triffids', 'The Chrysalids' and 'The Midwich Cuckoos' that so dramatically influenced the genre.
Original green cloth. Gift inscription to front paste-down. Some spotting, primarily to preliminaries, edges and final leaves with far lighter and more isolated spotting to contents, else very good. Lacking dust jacket. A rare edition of one of the author's earliest works, seldom found in its first issue green binding.

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.

Salem's Lot
By Stephen King
First UK edition, first impression. Adapted into mini-series in 1979 and 2004 with a film adaptation released in late 2024.
Original black cloth with lettering to spine in gilt. Faint off-setting to front and rear endpapers and paste-downs. A few light spots to opening few pages with the usual toning to edges.
The original dust jacket is price-clipped with the publisher's reprice sticker to the top corner of upper flap and some spotting to verso. Spine panel lettering very slightly faded.
A very good or better example of an uncommon edition of the author's second published novel.
