This edition of The Case of the Caretaker's Cat is an original 1935 USA printing by Grosset & Dunlap. Perry Mason takes on a peculiar case involving a cat and a will dispute, leading him into a complex legal battle filled with Gardner's signature intrigue and courtroom drama. This is one of the earlier Perry Mason mysteries, contributing to the long-standing success of the series.
Condition: Good, with some professional repairs
The black cloth cover with green text is in overall good condition, with some light wear to the boards. The boards appear to have been professionally reinforced with tape, binding the cover to the book. The binding is now secure, but this repair is visible upon closer inspection. The pages show age-toning and some foxing around the edges but remain unmarked. The book includes a previous owner’s name (Wayne Hart) on the front endpaper.
Dust Jacket: The original dust jacket is present and protected by an archival-quality plastic cover. The jacket shows some wear, including small tears, chipping along the edges, and minor discolouration. The dust jacket retains its striking purple and green design.
I encourage you to closely review the photos for further condition specifics.
The book will be mailed in a cardboard mailer designed for collectible books.
All returns are welcome, and I aim to dispatch items the next working day after payment.
