New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950. 255 pp, small 8vo (7 5/8" H). "John Mannering's wife Lorna had painted what critics considered the picture of the Royal Academy year. Perhaps this was why she wanted her husband to give up his career as the Baron, cracksman and jewel thief and Robin Hood of the London underworld. Perhaps she thought it would be more suitable for him to open a very small, very select gallery - one like Quinn's, the West End antique and curio shop with the curious history, which just happened to be for sale. But when John Mannering went with money in his hand to buy, he ran into mystery and trouble. Soon New Scotland Yard was wondering if the Baron was up to his old tricks again." Very light browning to three page gatherings, date and letter "A" written in pen on front free endpaper, minor soiling on top of textblock, light edgewear, wrinkling at top/bottom of spine. Dust jacket has several tears - some archivally taped, creases at top of front panel, small chips/creasing at top of spine, tiny chips at bottom of spine and top/bottom of flap-folds, light to moderate edgewear, light color fading on spine and front hinge area, tiny color rub mark on spine, a few tiny soiling marks - now protected in removable mylar sleeve.. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good-.
