Harry Price & R.S. Lambert. 
 
Methuen: 1936. First edition. Hardcover in a jacket. Small octavo. Discoloration and soiling on the jacket, and the front flap is price clipped. Chipping and small tears along jacket's top and bottom. A fold down the front panel. Bumping on the corners of the book's boards and scuffing along their bottoms and tops. Some foxing on the text block edges. Minor foxing on the attached endpapers. 211 pages. Very good. 

Gef the talking mongoose still stalks the darker regions of the popular imagination, and this scarce first edition is of the first book that put together the story by paranormal author aces reporting in the years when it broke. Psychic researcher and medium debunker Harry Price brought along his friend, popular historian and journalist R.S. Lambert, to investigate Gef's appearances in a rural farm in the Isle of Man. Though their investigation was inconclusive, the accumulation of diaries, interviews, family intrigue, correspondences, and analysis build and build into a great occult detective story.
