Spine ends & corners of book covers have a bit of very light bumping and rubbing. Tan paper covered boards have brown lettering to the spine and front cover of the book. Text pages are clean & bright. There is a bit of light foxing / spotting to the top edge of the text block. Spine ends & corners of dust jacket have a bit of light bumping & rubbing. There are several very small edge tears to dust jacket (one at top front edge and two tiny tears to top rear edge along with two very small nicks to bottom spine end). Overall, a very good+ copy. "Daphne Shelby was young, beautiful, and thoroughly upset. The letter she handed Perry Mason had been written in haste and great agitation. It was from her uncle and had reached her just after her ship sailed from Honolulu on the return from a three month's cruise of the Orient."
