This detail page shows several photos of the book to show what a first edition looks like.  The images are original photos taken of my personal copy of the first edition book. 

Red Threads (1939):

• The first edition is red cloth with black lettering on the cover and spine.
• The Farrar & Rinehart (FR) colophon on the copyright page. 
• It was originally published as part of The Mystery Book.
• The price ($2.50) is at the top of the front flap of the dustjacket.
