You are bidding on a rare hardback copy of In the Hour Before Midnight by Jack Higgins. It was published in 1969 by Doubleday and it is a stated First Edition copy. The book measures 5.75 x 8.5-inches in size and contains 185 pages. See photos for more details.

This is an ex-library book from an Air Force base library.  The book covers have tape reside spots on the top and bottom edges where the dust jack used to be taped to the book. There is also a light water stain along the top edge that caused small bubbles in the cloth. No wear or rubbing to the cover edges. No bumps or damage to cover corners.  There is some age-spotting to the top page edges.  On the inside the front blank page has a date due form stamped on it (book was checked out four times), a used bookstore stamp, and a removed card pocket. Other than these markings, the book has two stamps in it, one on the bottom of the dedication page and an identical one on the back of the last blank page (seen in photo). Otherwise, the interior is in very good condition. No cracks to interior hinges. Binding remains tight and square.
