London : Victor Gollancz, 1946. First edition. After a morning in the Reading Room, Richard Meredith accidentally triggers a password in the local tobacconist’s – trapdoors open, stolen Titians and Vermeers appear.
Crown 8vo (20cm). (246),[ii]pp. Original blue cloth, lettered in gilt; a touch of rubbing to extremities, a sprinkling of very faint spots, but overall a very good and sound copy in the Gollancz yellow dust-jacket – slightly faded; lightly worn and slightly chipped at tips, just affecting lettering at head; some spotting, particularly to rear panel, but essentially complete and not unattractive.

London : Victor Gollancz, 1984. First edition. Sir John Appleby has retired to the country, but a near neighbour is planning to disappear on the back of an extravagant fraud.
Post 8vo (21cm). (184)pp. Original red boards, lettered in gilt; a handful of very faint edge-spots, but otherwise a very good copy indeed in the Gollancz yellow dust-jacket, printed in magenta and black – the jacket also very good indeed.
