The black cloth binding remains tight, square, and structurally sound, featuring bright, unoxidised silver tooling of the fox motif on the front board and crisp lettering along the spine. The corners remain sharp with minimal signs of shelf-wear. The text block edges exhibit faint, scattered dust-staining and minor handling marks, primarily along the top and fore-edge, but the interior pages are otherwise remarkably bright, clean, and entirely free from foxing. The original, unclipped dust jacket is preserved well, showing only minor creasing and light rubbing to the spine ends, remaining vibrant and free of notable tears, fading, or loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a true first edition, first printing of Richard Osman's highly acclaimed debut novel, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"110\"\u003eThe Thursday Murder Club\u003c\/i\u003e. The primary state of this edition is definitively confirmed by the numeric string \"001\" on the copyright page, published by Viking in 2020. The dust jacket is also in its correct primary state, bearing the original U.K. price on the front flap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eGiven the record-breaking success of the franchise, and Osman’s subsequent widespread acclaim as a prominent voice in modern British crime fiction, unsigned true first printings in this collectable condition have become increasingly difficult to source on the open market. While later impressions and heavily read copies are common, a well-preserved, unsigned primary state remains highly sought-after by modern first edition collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eIn a peaceful luxury retirement village in Kent, four unlikely septuagenarian friends - Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim, and Ron - meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to investigate unsolved crimes. Together, they call themselves the Thursday Murder Club. However, when a ruthless local property developer is found bludgeoned to death with a mysterious photograph left next to the body, the gang suddenly finds themselves in the middle of their very first live case. Pushing eighty but with a few formidable tricks up their sleeves, this unorthodox but brilliant team must race against the clock to catch a killer before the bodies begin to pile up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55393958854995,"sku":"6215","price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261012_153852.jpg?v=1792078703","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-thursday-murder-club-richard-osman-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
