A biography of the English crime writer, essayist, literary critic, playwright, and all-around participant in pop culture. The book caused quite a stir when first released, praised for being "nearly as lively and boiterous as its original and about as frank." Dorothy Sayers [1893-1957] would have approved. These copies have damaged dust jackets, meaning a deal for you. Harper & Row, New York. 1975. USED. $2.00
