Suddenly, In Vienna (Mystery Book Guild)

184pp. 12mo. Blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine (dust marked upper edge and some spotting on text block edges). In a matt dust jacket in Mystery Book Guild style (gentle shelf wear at edges, sunned on spine, 2 inch closed tear at base of spine ). First published by John Long in 1963. The Mystery Book Guild republished leading mystery novels at the rate of two a month, building an attractively uniform series of classic crime and thrillers. Its diamond design dust jackets are both sought after and pleasing. A little gem for lovers of vintage fiction. Some of the novels in the series are now hard to find in this or any other edition.
