GRAY, OSCAR. The Bagshot Mystery. 8vo, publisher's orange cloth lettered in dark red, light rubbing to head and foot of spine; dust jacket with three corners narrowly clipped retaining $2.00 price, panels rubbed with some small abrasions to rear panel, folds rubbed, few small nicks to fold corners, dust soiling; contents clean. First American edition, clean and square copy in scarce and unrestored jacket. Elusive "mystery novel centering about that curious sect called 'The Thugs' [...]." Though Hubin lists both the English and American first editions as 1928 issues, the small handful located in WorldCat that bear the Macaulay imprint are dated 1929 as here. Hubin, p. 345. New York: The Macaulay Company, (1929)
