U.S. Dell Book. 1975 Third Dell Book Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Fair to Good.
April, 1975. $.95 original price. 192 pages. Very tight binding. Medium beige paper. Green colour to the edging. Front Cover: A line crease, by the spine, from book opening. One triangular wrinkle.crease at the top, right corner (extending inward 1/2") and two partial creases (extending inward 1 1/2" and 3"). Three 1/2" light creases at the right edge, plus the usual fingernail marks. A small bit of edge wear along the edges. Spine: A line crease from book opening, plus some light edge wear along the edges, but mostly at the bottom, right side (2 1/2" high). Back Cover: Creased corners and several creases at the spine side. The back is what I call "Fair" condition, due to the creases. Some edge wear along the edges. In General: Page 33 has a small corner fold at the upper right and this mark has travelled for a few pages. Pages 35-39 have a light brown spot on the right margin, but it's nothing much. A couple of water spots at the top edge, but all that was done was to slightly lighten the green colour as the paper is fine. Story: I rather like the line: "To know her, was to hate her". Anyway, Poirot feels sympathy for the murder victim and, as usual, everyone is a suspect as everyone has a really good reason to knock off the old lady. Get those little grey cells going, Poirot!

Some light purple and light green bleed to the page edges, extending into the pages about 1/4", but 3-4 pages have these colours extending inward about 1". A slight upward curve to the book, from the last 2" of the right side, probably from other books resting on it. A bit of discolouration where the front cover joins to the spine, at the front, for approximately 5-6 pages, and the same, at the back, for 3-4 pages. The Wrapper is very lightly colour tinted inside, where it touched the book. The pages are a bit stiff to open, but not too bad.

| 12. | Christie, Agatha Towards Zero - Copy #2
Canada. Pocket Book, Jr. 1947 (?) Second Pocket Books Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Reading Copy Only.
Title page is mising. 202 pages plus one page of book advertising. I believe that this is the Seond Pocket Book edition.Tan paper, slightly darker at the edges (1"). Red colouring to the edges. Reasonably tight copy but it's beginning to become a bit loose. Covers are both creased and the book, itself, has obviously seen better days. There's general wear. The bottom of the spine is torn on both sides (about 1"), with taping to the back page (to keep everything tied to the cover). The front cover needs to be reglued to the siide and the first page, with printing history, etc., is missing. The last couple of pages are torn at the bottom, due to the sloppy taping job. Some water rippled along the spine and a bit of marking, here and there, exists along the top of the book. An old woman is murdered and Inspector Battle must solve the case.
