Description: Herbert Wise & Phyllis Fraser - Great Tales of Terror and the Supernatural - Random House, 1944 - 1st Edition / 1st Printing - No statement of edition of mention of later printings present on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. This example with edge wear to the spine ends and tips but otherwise bright, clean and square. The dust jacket has mending with white paper to the verso which has been taped into place, general shelf wear and rubbing and areas of chipping. This is a rather scarce book which has been reprinted numerous times with the most common being the Modern Library edition. The actual true trade first such as this seems to seldom surface. While it is flawed, the poor war time materials that it was constructed from have likely limited the surviving copies greatly. A cornerstone of any serious Horror book collection.
