The very scarce first separate edition of this Campion novel, by Margery Allingham. 

The very scarce first separate edition, first published as part of ‘Mr Campion and Others’. A rare survival and exceptionally scarce in commerce. Cooper & Pike pp.52-5.

In the original publisher’s pictorial wraps. 

Originally created as a parody of Dorothy Sayers’ Lord Wimsey character, Campion evolved as the series progressed. 'The Case of The Late Pig' follows Campion as he investigates the death of a bully named Pig. 

A smart copy of this scarce Campion work. 

In the publisher’s original paper wraps. Externally generally smart with creasing and the occasional closed tear to the extremities. Handling marks to the wrap. Sticker to the rear wrap. Internally firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean with the odd spot, heavier to the first and last few pages.

Grading: GOOD.
