JOHNS, Captain W.E. (author). STEAD (illustrator). Biggles Makes Ends Meet. London; Hodder And Stoughton. 1957.
8vo. Original dark red cloth pictorially blocked and lettered in black to upper cover and spine, in pictorial dustwrapper; pp. [vi], 7-192; with frontispiece and 5 other full-colour plates; a remarkably clean and sharp copy, both externally and internally, without ownership inscription, in a near fine, unclipped dustwrapper (8s 6d) with 2 tiny (8mm) closed edge-tears, and small rubbing to forecorner tips; an elusive title.
First edition. Biggles and his friends Algy, Ginger and Bertie are called on to investigate "robbery on the high seas", but piracy is only one of the many challenges they face.
