Here is a group of 5 vintage paperback mystery thriller novels by Ngaio Marsh, Al Fray, or Edith Dorian. Various publishers. Printed in the U.S.A.

I have placed a ruler in some pictures for size reference. Mass market paperbacks, four have color tint closed page edges.

I show the original copyright printing date and the latest printing date shown on the publishing page.

I fanned through each book. No names or writing. All books show handling wear and aging, range from good to fair condition. Expect a range of creases, smudges, soiling, rubs, scuffs, spots, tanning, spine tilt, spine creasing, nicks or short tears.... I point out some wear and tear. Some have binding issues, loose page or cover. Pages show range of aging, some tip creases, edge nicks. It's possible I overlooked something when fanning through. No musty or smoke odor.
