The Mask of Dimitrios.

Notably rare in the jacket
First edition, first impression, of this noted rarity, and particularly so in the jacket.

This is Ambler's most famous work, and a Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone in detective fiction.Description

Condition
Spine slightly rolled, foot of spine slightly faded, a little foxing to edges. A very good, tight copy in the bright jacket, spine just faintly toned and ends a little nibbled and creased, extremities rubbed, closed tears to rear panel and head of front panel with tape repair to verso, tips slightly chipped, front panel still presenting nicely.
