I'm excited to share my first edition printing cat among the pigeons is a Hercule perau mystery this book was printed in 1959 I very rarely pick up and handle this book I consider it very delicate and a prized possession so holding it to film the video is atypical the cover itself is delicate and it kind of pops up in a way so you can see the lamination it's not entirely flat you can tell it's a first edition because of the red cloth with black titles to the spine and this dust jacket is very distinctive last year I went to this rare books event held in Boston and this was the cheapest book for Agatha Christi on display the other titles ranged from $750 to over $55,000 this one was a couple of hundred it's not my absolute favorite pro mystery but I love perau so having a first edition printing of any perau makes me extremely happy the next time there's a rare Book Expo you yourself might come across a first printing of an EG of Christie
