Description
CHRISTIE, AGATHA.
Poirot's Early Cases.
Stock Code 106921
London, Collins, 1974
£4,750
A Poirot novel. A fine association copy with the author's signed presentation inscription to the title page, 'To Daphne Honeybone from Agatha Christie'. The recipient was for many years Christie's personal secretary. This is an especially poignant inscription in Christie's final and most shaky hand, presenting what would prove to be the final Poirot publication in her lifetime. Her health had already started seriously to fail and she would die about a year after the publication of this collection. I have handled just one other presentation copy and heard of a single other example.

Description
First edition, first impression; author's presentation copy, with inscription to title page, 8vo, publisher's tan boards, titles to spine gilt; with the dust jacket: an excellent copy in the somewhat frayed and rubbed dust jacket.
