First edition thus “Halfway House” Ellery Queen mystery Vintage 1944 Pocket Book paperback

Vintage American paperback, 175 pages. This is a "very good plus" vintage paperback. The spine is intact, not coming apart, the covers close tight and flat. NOT ex-library. Will not contain writing (aside from possible original owner name in front), underlining or highlighting unless called out below in item specifics. No loose, torn, folded or creased pages unless noted. You will receive the same book in the images. ITEM SPECIFICS: This appears that it may in fact be an unread copy - really no signs of reading present. Would grade typically more like "near fine" except for inside front and back covers are significantly tanned at the top edge and the back has a small printery error with some over sprayed ink. Please review accompanying images for full condition details. Will make for a wonderful gift for your favorite Clarke fan! Will ship to you promptly, carefully packaged.
