*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: In the early to mid-1950s, publisher T V Boardman produced a long series of good-looking crime murder mysteries, mostly graced with the stylish cover artwork of Dennis McLoughlin, the famed comic artist. These are not common now, and are much collected and sought-after. We have four examples new in this week, which are reasonably sound but lower graded due to wear and creasing. However, somehow for this type of book, such wear lends them character and atmosphere. More details as always in our catalogue.
