Price Upon Request
  • Description
    KINGSTON, KEEDY.
    The Great Pimlico Mystery.
    A Well-Kept Secret Disclosed.
    Stock Code 102555
    London, Diprose & Bateman, 1896
    £950
    A remarkably scarce example of eighteen-nineties detective fiction, not in the British Library, and with only one copy we could trace in other institutional holdings at Monash University in Australia.

    The collation corresponds with that recorded in Dorothy Glover & Graham Greene's Victorian Detective Fiction, but it is unclear whether there was a matching blue paper lower wrapper.

    Description
    First edition; 8vo; xylographic device, initials, head- & tail-pieces, 2pp. advertisements, small later ownership label to verso of title, some foxing to early pages and occasionally elsewhere; publisher's pale blue upper wrapper, lacking spine (replaced in plain paper) [ý]and lower wrapper; housed in later card chemise and cloth slip-case.

    Bibliography
    Glover & Greene 294; not in Ellery Queen.
