Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Publication: London, Hodder & Stoughton, 1913. Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 119. Condition Report: Fair. This fragile early paperback survival exhibits significant wear, typical of the cheap ephemeral materials used for sixpenny editions. The pictorial front wrapper is completely detached from the text block, and the fragile paper spine has almost entirely perished, leaving only minor remnants. The edges of the wrappers are moderately chipped, rubbed, and lightly creased. Internally, the contemporary paper stock is heavily age-toned, yet the text block remains remarkably solid and firmly bound, with the pages largely free from severe tears or significant foxing. Despite the exterior flaws, the striking cover artwork remains bright and legible. Catalogue Note: First published in 1907, this 1913 iteration by Hodder & Stoughton within their "Famous Sixpenny Novels" series represents the first paper-bound edition of Freeman's seminal work. Early mass-market paperbacks of this era were printed cheaply and intended to be disposable; consequently, surviving copies are notoriously scarce on the open market. This copy retains its publisher's original period advertisements, including notable promotions for Sunlight Soap, Swan Pens, and Chlorodyne, providing a fascinating window into Edwardian consumer culture. A cornerstone of Golden Age detective fiction, The Red Thumb Mark introduces readers to Dr. John Thorndyke, a brilliant medico-legal forensic investigator. When a bloody thumbprint is used as evidence to frame an innocent man for theft, Thorndyke is called upon to exonerate him. Pioneering the fictional use of forensic evidence and exploring the revolutionary concept that fingerprints could be forged, R. Austin Freeman's meticulous debut Thorndyke mystery remains a masterclass in Edwardian plotting.
