[Rivett (Edith Caroline)] "E.C.R. Lorac". Still Waters, first edition, presentation copy inscribed by the author, occasional spotting, mostly to endpapers and edges, original cloth, dust-jacket slightly frayed and chipped, mostly to spine ends and corners, 8vo, 1949.
⁂ In effect the dedication copy. The inscription reads "For Kate from Caroline, May '48-'49." followed by a quotation from the book, also in the author's hand: "Your wife's a very unusual woman, Hoggett. She's got eyes that see and a torque which keeps its own counsel..." Robert Macdonald." The author's dedicatory letter, couched as a foreword is to "Dear Kate and Giles", gratefully acknowledges them and refers to her use of real places and names within her fiction.
