I Mentioned In Today's Post,

that I had read The Thirty Nine Steps,

and here is a original copy of the book, this is a first edition, published in London by William Blackwood and Sons,

originally serialized in Blackwood's Magazine, 'The Thirty Nine Steps' is the first of five novels featuring Buchan's all-action hero Richard Hannay,

from the blurb: 'this is one of the earliest examples of 'man on the run' thriller archetypes subsequently used for films as a plot device. Richard Hannay is an ordinary man who puts his country's interests before his own safety',

as well as a great story, I love the fact that so many books are just one shilling each, (in the day 20 shillings in £1.00), are mention at the back of the book, this first edition, yours for £995.00 available here.
