Description: AGATHA CHRISTIE - DEATH ON THE NILE, published by UK publisher Collins, copyright 1937, First Printing (states "Copyright 1937" on copyright page with no references to subsequent printings), lists to "Dumb Witness" on list of Christie books to left of title page, 4 pages of ads at rear (reviews for "Dumb Witness" "Cards On The Table" & "Murder in Mesopotamia" & ad to join the Crime Club), orange cloth boards with black lettering to spine and front board, correct 1st state original Dust Jacket (generic reviews to rear panel & reviews for last 3 books to rear flap) . Book has just a couple of creased page corners, no former owner or used bookstore markings/stamps inside, clean endpapers with no staining or tape residue, no foxing to pages, endpapers, or outer pages, hint of age darkening/dust soiling to outer page edges, no lettering fading/wear to spine (common defect with these early Collins 1st print books), no wear to board edges, just a hint of wear to board corners, slight wear to spine tip corners, usual slight dust/handling soiling to cloth boards, slight spine sun fading. Original Dust Jacket has no restoration but has been slightly trimmed at top and bottom (obviously taken from a Collins "ex-libris" edition book where a couple of % of the first printing were printed in different colored slightly smaller but stronger boards and hinges with the round "ex-libris" logo at bottom of front board) however all of the spine printing is still retained despite the trimming (unlike other restored out there for sale), no chipping or tearing or creasing, slight wear to spine tips with largish 'v' losses at spine tip corners, slight wear to front flap crease (nick losses at flap crease corners), almost no edge wear, hint of dust soiling/foxing to white rear panel, slight spine sun darkening, no scotch tape marks to flaps, no soiling or staining. Overall a VG book in VG/VG+ condition (trimmed) dust jacket (price clipped) of a rare 1930s era UK Agatha Christie 1st printing IN ORIGINAL FIRST STATE DUST JACKET. I have a number of other U.K. and U.S. Agatha Christie 1st printing hardcover books up for auction on ebay - just click on the 'see other items' link to the right of the picture. NOTE - MEDIA MAIL ROUTINELY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT EBAY MAY SAY - THEY DON'T CONTROL THE POST OFFICE). For U.S. buyers, both priority mail (3-5 days) and media mail (3-4 weeks) shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice (or if the book is a paperback or small magazine both 1st class mail (5-7 days) and media mail shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice) - SIMPLY CLICK ON THE BLUE 'OTHER SHIPPING OPTIONS' LINK IN THE INVOICE TO SEE BOTH SHIPPING OPTIONS/COST. DELIVERY CONFIRMATION IS NOT TRACKING (despite what ebay and paypal want to call it - again they don't control the U.S. post office). Delivery confirmation is merely what it says it is - it confirms delivery to prevent fraudulent chargebacks of claimed unreceived items (which is why I don't charge for delivery confirmation in the shipping costs). Also, since I print shipping labels from home (as opposed to purchasing shipping at the post office), the delivery confirmation number IS NOT SCANNED BY THE POST OFFICE AT THIS END. Therefore, in most cases, the first time that the Post Office will show anything when you check the delivery confirmation number is when the package hits your local post office/sorting center (basically the day before its delivered to you). Occasionally (about 25% of the time) a package will get scanned at the Federal Way, WA transfer station, but in the vast majority of the cases the delivery confirmation won't show anything until basically the day before you get the package. I DO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE ITEMS WON (if you would like estimates of what combined shipping costs might be for a certain group of auctions, please e-mail me before the auctions close but a very rough estimate is $.50-$1.00 per additional book for media mail, $1.00-$2.00 per additional book for priority mail, and $6.00-$7.00 per additional book for international mail). As for returns -All items are used (not new) books and therefore are sold as-is, which is why I try to provide a fairly detailed description of the item itself (i.e. what it is and what it is not) as well its specific condition, noting any significant defects (for collectible items). Book grades are provided in the posting, however book grading standards/categories very widely from seller to seller, so please do not rely solely on the grade that I have given a book or ebay's provided "condition" box description, without considering the specific condition/defects described for that particular book. I do, on occasion, miss a significant defect in an item or simply make a cut/paste error in the description (i.e. an error in the description from using a prior posting as the "shell" for this book's description), and for collectible items, if that happens, on a case-by-case basis I do issue a full refund (including the cost of return shipping) depending upon the collectible significance of the undisclosed defect.
