House of Numbers, Jack Finney; 1957 First UK Edition w/ Original Dust Jacket

Description: The mind is always being baffled by itself, and its incredible abilities. Even in the instant my muscles were tensing with movement, I was able to stand off and watch myself in a part of my mind, and realize that incredibly I, Ben Jarvis, was about to kill a man. Here we offer the first UK retail edition of the classic adventure novel, House of Numbers, by Jack Finney, published in 1957 by Eyre and Spottiswoode, London. Finney is noted as a time-travel writer, but he actually spent a lot more time writing adventure stories of 1950's/60's suburban American men. In this adventure (later made into a movie starring Jack Palance), he has look-alike brothers perform a switcheroo at San Quentin. Marvelous. The book comes complete with its first edition dust jacket with retail price clipped.Very nice boards (please see pics). Intact endpapers are uninscribed. Binding is very tight and square; text is very bright and crisp with some light stains. 187 pages, measures approximately 7.5 x 5-inches. The edge-worn and lightly soiled dust jacket is sleeved in ph-neutral Mylar and ready to slip into your collection. This classic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very special gift. Please click HERE to see our other Jack Finney titles.
