London : Harborough Publishing Co., [1952]. First edition. Minette Floucher waits for her boyfriend at the Gard du Nord. The second of the seven or so Harborough titles put out under this nom-de-plume – ostensibly a translation from the French, but there would appear to be no editions in French and, for all the glamour of the potted biography on the lower wrapper, the author is unknown to the Bibliothèque Nationale.
Crown 8vo (19cm). (160)pp. Original pictorial stapled wrappers – a typical design by David Wright (1912-1967), signed with initials; some light wear and mild creasing; very faint fringe of pale discolouration to upper wrapper and spine; text lightly tanned; a few leaves with chips to margins, not affecting text; a good copy. Just three copies (Bodleian, British Library and Trinity College, Dublin) located in major libraries worldwide.
