Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Scotsman J. I. M. Stewart, renowned Oxford professor of literature, wrote many erudite academic books and papers; as well as these he also wrote many mystery novels under the pseudonym Michael Innes. His fictional character Inspector Appleby is one of the best-known in the genre. "From London Far" is not an Appleby novel, but it is, all the same, an excellent mystery, written in Innes's inimitable literary style. An Innes novel is always well-written, and frequently abounds in literary and artistic allusions. In "From London Far" readers will find themselves engrossed in fascinating skullduggery within the world of fine art collecting. Is murder involved as well as swindling? Maybe. Probably. Let's read it to find out! ************************************************** TITLE : From London Far / AUTHOR : Michael Innes (Pseudonym of J. I. M. Stewart, 1906 - 1994) / IMPRINT : Victor Gollancz / PLACE : London / DATE : 1946 / EDITION : First Edition / STATUS : OP - Out of Print ( no longer listed on the publishing site ) PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade hardcover; 246 pages; approximately 5" x 7 1/4", blue cloth-covered boards with lettering in gilt on spine. ***************************************** CONDITION - VERY GOOD - This is a previously owned book which remains clean and attractive, the following noted: EXTERIOR -- Modest compression and a touch of abrasion to spine extremities; soft bumps to corner tips, else clean and attractive. / BINDING -- The book has been read and thus the text-block is not so tight as when issued, and is just slightly shaken, but remains essentially solid with no detached or loose leaves. / INTERIOR -- Mild, near negligible spotting to end-papers; a bookshop label is affixed to the rear paste-down (Holliday Bookshop, 49 E 49th St., New York); soft bumps to a few leaf corner tips, else the interior is clean and free of marking. / DUST-JACKET -- Not present / This is a nice clean copy of the First Edition, sans jacket, issued in 1946 by Victor Gollancz.

Hardcover first edition - First printing. Detective novel featuring Sir John Appleby, now retired - from the dust jacket: "A small yacht adrift in mid-Pacific, its main-mast snapped, its navigator dead - that's the highly intriguing (and most uncharacteristic) opening of Michael Innes's latest story. The dead man is Charles Povey, a maverick tycoon. And there's a survivor on board: his brother Arthur, who, when at last he is picked up, semi-delirious, is assumed for several convincing reasons to be Charles himself. As Charles was the wealthy brother, Arthur is very ready to accept the error in identification. . . not surprisingly, there are one or two people who see through the impersonation, and make their blackmailing demands. Arthur is driven to marriage, crime, attempted murder and desperation. Unhappily for Arthur, he buys a country estate which makes him a neighbour of that greatest of detectives, Sir John Appleby, sometime head of Scotland Yard. Appleby is in retirement now, but he cannot resist a mystery almost on his own doorstep, and he is soon investigating." 192 pp. Fine in red cloth in a fine example of Gollancz's distinctive yellow dust jackets.
