Оценочная стоимость
£ 1 500 – 2 500
Presentation copy of the first edition, inscribed by the author to her secretary, amanuensis and close friend Charlotte ‘Carlo’ Fisher: ‘with love from Agatha’. We are able to trace just one presentation copy in auction records. Set at an archaeological site in Iraq, Murder in Mesopotamia was inspired by the author's visit to the site where she met her husband, Sir Max Mallowan.
Octavo. Original orange cloth lettered in black to spine (spine faded, light spotting to edges and preliminaries); original pictorial dust-jacket supplied from another copy (some light soiling, small chips to corners and spine ends). Provenance: Charlotte ‘Carlo’ Fisher (1895-1976, secretary, amanuensis and close friend of Agatha Christie; presentation inscription by the author on front free endpaper, and with Fisher’s posthumous book label).
