THE MYSTERY STORY, reference book, John Ball, editor

San Diego: University of California, Publisher’s Inc., 1976. Cloth in original dust jacket. First edition, second printing. A terrific reference work for mystery fans, with critics, authors and historians contributing essays on various aspects of the genre. Several important lists are included in the chapters. This is something you’ll find yourself referring to often. Now long out of print. Condition: Fine in Near Fine jacket. The jacket’s only flaw is a staple-sized gouge in the front panel near the spine (see scan). The gouge does not affect the book’s cover.
