Title: ENGAGED TO MURDER
Description: Doubleday Crime Club, 1949. 1949, 1st Edition. Hardcover with dust jacket. Stated First Edition. Hardback, small octavo, appx 5 1/2 x 8 inches, 224 pages, G+ to VG- in G+ to VG- dj (dj in new protective mylar). Only very minor interior signs of ex-lending library and remains fairly decent. Book itself: binding sound with hinges intact, text pages tanned rather lightly (pages not brittle), both boards tape remnants and endpapers a few light tape ghosts. DJ had been protected in mylar and has suffered essentially no wear but printed in black and magenta with 3/4ths of the magenta on the spine faded to white (incl complete loss of author's name) + neat trim job along bottom edge (3/16ths inch, and "A Crime Club Book" is off the page just a bit on front panel as well as on spine). DJ , Good/Good.
