Photo of Christie and her beloved wire-haired terrier dog Peter; About Dustjackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine which far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results. About Title: A Lee Thayer, herself the author of many successful mystery stories, says of this book: "I think it has the best plot of any I have read in years. The mechanism seems to be perfect. I wish I could have written it myself." This is high praise indeed and confirms the publisher's opinion that in THE MURDER OR ROGER ACKROYD, Agatha Christie has written a remarkable mystery story, bewildering and perplexing, the convincing solution of which will astound the reader, who will have confidently settled the question of guilt in his own mind. But he will forgive the jolt, comforting himself with the knowledge that there will be thousands of other self-confident readers confounded by the brilliant Agatha Christie.
