About This Item

New York: Delacorte Press, 1981. (1981). Near Fine in a Very Good dustjacket. Black boards quarterbound in black cloth. The spine is stamped in metallic red. Octavo. 342pps. Stated First printing. The closed page edges are slightly dingy, otherwise Fine: clean, bright, square, and soundly bound. All tips are sharp. No previous ownership markings. The price-clipped dustjacket, glossy in a new mylar sleeve, has a closed tear with an attendant crease at the bottom of the front panel. Also, the white flap-panels are slightly yellowed. SIGNED by the author -- without further inscription -- on the title-page. A very nice, collector's-quality copy of the author's early, third novel.<br><br><font color=#003366><b> "Roger Levin is an unlikely private detective -- an ex-marijuana dealer who lives over a Chinese restaurant he acquired from pot proceeds, then loses in a bar bet. Levin makes his living doing deeds for lawyers that they would rather not do themselves. In 'The Caribbean Account,' he's hired to deliver 500,000 to an unknown individual in Miami; a little matter of an heiress in thrall to a bizarre cult -- nothing that unusual. But the drop, which is to take place in a dressing room below the Orange Bowl, does not go off as planned. Somebody dies and the money disappears. The lawyers scury to protect their interests, and the De Scodellaire family, wealthy and eccentric to begin with, leans on everybody in sight."<br><br></font></b> Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books. To assist with your decision, photos can be emailed upon request.. SIGNED by the Author. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover.

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
