There was an occasion many moons ago when a fellow dealer and I landed up at Hall's Bookshop in Tunbridge Wells. As we both worked a similar seam of modern first/crime fiction there were many anxious moments as we looked over each other's shoulders wondering if our competitor was making off with a gem or two. Eventually he left to hot foot it to the next bookish destination (in the days when one could move through six or seven shops in one area in a day) and I sauntered out of the shop empty-handed. Pausing for a moment to peer into the window I suddenly noticed a copy of Agatha Christie's Dumb Witness - in a dustwrapper. And a first. The price was a fraction of what I was prepared to pay.
