March the Ninth

304pp. Orange cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on green label on spine. Previous owners' name on endpapers, blacked out, otherwise internally creamily clean and neat. But the real joy of this copy of what is a fairly common book is the classic vintage dust jacket designed and painted by Vern Hayles. Dust jacket rubbed and lightly chipped at edges, minor loss at base of spine, and couple of small marks on verso. Not price clipped. When surgeon Eugen Reichenbach is asked to perform an operation on an outlaw, he knows he cannot refuse and that he is becoming embroiled in a dangerous and unlawful situation.
