The Stalag Mites. 1947. First edition. By Leo Grex.

The Stalag Mites By Leo Grex. 

Publisher: George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd., London, 1947. First edition. 

Hardback with dust jacket. 
Original crimson cloth boards show light rubbing, standard bumping to the corners, and fading to the spine ends. Binding remains sound. The front free endpaper features a previous owner's name crossed out, alongside heavy foxing to the endpapers and light foxing extending to the outer closed page edges. Internal text pages remain clean and legible throughout. 
The original dust jacket is in tatty, scruffy condition, showing price-clipping, tears, creasing, and clear paper loss at the spine ends. 
216 pages.

A gritty post-WWII crime thriller penned by Leonard Gribble under his popular Leo Grex pseudonym. Published just two years after the close of World War II, the narrative delivers a fast-paced tale of suspense, wartime fallout, and subterranean intrigue typical of the classic British mid-century pulp era. While copies without jackets are standard, this true first edition retains its rare—though scruffy—original 1947 dust jacket, making it a wonderful shelf filler for collectors of vintage crime fiction, post-war espionage, and classic hard-boiled paperbacks.
