BUDE, John. Death in Ambush
Death in Ambush, John Bude. 1945. London: Macdonald. 8vo. First edition. The scarce first edition of this Inspector Meredith crime mystery. Bude was the pseudonym of Ernest Carpenter Elmore. The publisher’s pale blue cloth with dark blue lettering to the spine, in the scarce original dust jacket. A very good book, the cloth clean and bright, the corners and spine tips gently bumped. The binding tight and square, and internally generally fine but for an ink inscription to the front endpaper. Printed on war economy paper. The dust jacket very good, unclipped and complete, with several small nicks and chips across most edges, corners and tips, but a very presentable copy. Scarce even without the dust jacket.
