All is Vanity writen by Josephine Bell
1940 UK hardcoverfirst edition, first impression published by Longmans in London The book has fade to spine but still tight and solid There are no names or stamps We are supplying as a free gift a photocopy of a 1st issue dust jacket which gives the book a very pleasing appearance on the shelf From this beginning comes the enquiry into the murder of Bruce Denton, who might have been killed bya poacher, by either of the two girls with whom he appeared to have been philandering or by somebody else. It is an intricate case, calling for all the exceptional powers of David Wintringham. The 'detection' in this book is very clever A very scarce book

Dr David Wintringham
The active, perceptive young physician, David Wintringham, is Junior Assistant Physician at Research Hospital in London. He is athletic, fond of swimming and the outdoors - he enjoys camping in Sussex in a caravan (trailer) with his wife, Jill, and infant son Nicholas. The Wintring-hams are wealthy enough to have a nanny for their son and a maid. Often David will discuss a case with his wife, who frequently makes useful suggestions. The young amateur detective's eye is equally keen spotting questionable medical diagnoses, discovering physical clues to a crime, and recognizing imitation jewelry at a glance.
