Murder in the Cathedral

London, Faber and Faber, 1935 [first complete edition].

Octavo, 87 pages.

Purple cloth lettered in gilt on the spine; endpapers lightly offset; top edge cut, others uncut and only lightly trimmed; essentially a fine copy with the very good price-clipped dustwrapper rubbed, chipped, and a little unevenly sunned, with minor loss to silverfish along the hinge of the front flap.

Gallup A29b (noting an edition of 3000 copies). The edition was preceded only by the slightly abridged acting edition. Some associated ephemera is loosely inserted (including the original 1935 purchase receipt from Preece's Bookshop in Adelaide, some bibliographic notes in the hand of local bookseller Harry Muir, some newspaper cuttings, and the program for the performance of the play at St Francis Xavier's Cathedral in Adelaide in March 2008).
