Description:
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, [1934]., 1934. First edition. First U.S. edition. Fine tight copy in dust jacket with light restoration to the spine ends, corners, and extremities. A classic of the genre as Lord Peter Wimsey tries to solve the murder of an unknown corpse in a quiet country churchyard. "Through it all, grave and gay, goes the pealing of the bells and the great voice of "Tailor Paul" tolling out the nine "tailors," the nine teller-strokes that ring for the death of a man." The author's was praised for her ability to translate the technical descriptions of the bell ringing into a life-like picture of the inexperienced ringer making awful faces as he mouthed and mumbled his way through the peal. A sharp copy.

Description:
London: Victor Gollancz, 1934. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 7.5" by 5". None. A scarce first edition of one of Sayers' most loved novels, featuring her protagonist, Lord Peter Wimsey. The first edition, first impression. Lacking the very scarce original dust wrapper. The Nine Tailors is the ninth novel to feature Lord Peter Wimsey and is set in the Lincolnshire Fens, with the story concerning a group of bell-ringers at the local parish church. Widely considered her best work, Sayers can perhaps be forgiven for the minor criticism regarding her inaccurate campanology details. Sayers was a prolific author of crime fiction during the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, and one of the 'Queens of Crime', alongside notable others such as Agatha Christie and Ngaio Marsh. A smart copy of Sayers' finest literary achievement. In the original black cloth binding. Externally smart with slight rubbing to the boards. Lifting to backstrip. Slight bumping to the extremities. Contemporary ink… Read More

Description:
New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, [1944]., 1944. First edition. Later U. S. edition. Originally published in 1934. A Wartime book. Offsetting to front and rear endpapers, else a near fine, clean, tight copy in dust jacket lightly sunned on the spine, lightly soiled on the white rear cover, and light wear to the spine ends. One of the best of the Lord Peter Wimsey mystery stories in which he must find an illusive murderer. The ancient church and bells of the Fenchurch St. Paul play the leading part, and the book is steeped in the atmosphere of that strange, flat fen-country of East Anglia, fitting for a tale that begins with an unknown corpse in a quiet country churchyard.
