Child, Lee.
A WANTED MAN.
London: Bantam Press, (2012). First edition, preceding the American edition. SIGNED on title page. This one got a sterling review from Nick Burrows in London, who was offering copies for sale: "A Jack Reacher novel with the usual thin plot, slowly building suspense and Reacher's conclusive, righteous violence. I should have wearied of this formulaic stuff by now, but like all Child's other books, could barely put it down until finished." So true. Fine in dust jacket.

Christie, Agatha.
THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES.
New York/Toronto: Ryerson Press, 1920. First Canadian edition of her first book. Published using the sheets of the first U.S edition (published by John Lane) and preceding the British first edition, published in 1921. The first appearance of Hercule Poirot. The book has an integral Ryerson title page; we assume it was a small printing. It appears to us that it was rebacked and has new endpapers. The rebacking was a pretty good job and not obvious. Internally clean with no foxing. In a specially made clamshell box printed in black lettering on spine and front. THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF POIROT.
