Description: AGATHA CHRISTIE - TEN LITTLE (published in the U.S. under a more politically correct title "And Then There Were None"), published by Collins, copyright 1939, 1958 printing (says "First Published 1939" & "This Edition 1958" on copyright page with no references, lists to "4-50 From Paddington" on list of Christie books to left of title page, redish orange boards with black lettering on spine, correct DJ with same green dust jacket and artwork as found on the ultra rare 1st printing, 6s net price on DJ front flap. DIFFICULT TO FIND AS THESE LATER HARDCOVER PRINTINGS WERE MADE PRIMARILY TO FILL LIBRARY ORDERS SO FINDING CLEAN COPIES IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. Book has no creased page corners, no former ownership markings or used book store marks/stamps/stickers inside, clean endpapers - no tape staining or markings, no foxing to pages or endpapers, slight dust soiling to outer page edges (no foxing/age darkening), no spine lean, tight white pages with sharp corners, no wear to board edges, board corners, or to spine tips, no spine sun fading, no soiling or stains, no wear/loss to black spine lettering. Dust jacket has no chipping, tearing, or creasing, virtually no wear to spine tips, no wear to front flap crease, no spine sun darkening/fading, almost no dust soiling to white rear panel otherwise no soiling or staining to panels, barest hint of color rubbing, no edge wear. Overall a N-FINE book in FINE-/N-FINE condition dust jacket (not price clipped) of a rare 1950s era UK Agatha Christie printing with original dust jacket of one OF HER TOP 3 "KEY" BOOKS. 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.
