First edition, first impression, of the debut novel of this great crime writer. This copy is inscribed by the author, "To Geir Moe Sorensen with every good wish from the author P. D. James" on the front endpaper, and inscribed "To Moe P. D. James" on the title. Cover Her Face is uncommon in the dust jacket, and especially so inscribed.
Octavo. Original green cloth, titles to spine gilt. With dust jacket. Housed in a terracotta quarter morocco solander box by the Chelsea Bindery.
Jacket very lightly toned and soiled, large stain to the verso but not visible on recto. A very good copy.
