Description:
New York: McBride, 1938. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Minute bumps to the crown and foot else fine in a lovely, about near fine example of the scarce dustwrapper with a few rubbed spots and slight loss at the spinal extremities (affecting a couple of letters), and some very neat professional reinforcing at the folds. A lost classic of hardboiled fiction; when it came out it was compared to *The Postman Always Rings Twice* and *They Shoot Horses, Don't They?* An Oklahoma man comes home and finds his wife and child gone, perhaps to California, and he sets out after them. The only mystery novel written by Eric Knight, an excellent and very versatile writer (he also wrote *Lassie, Come Home*) who died in a plane crash during WWII. An uncommon book, and genuinely rare in jacket.

Dracula
by Bram Stoker
- Used
- Hardcover
- first
(Sells with a handwritten, certified (L.W. Currey Inc.) two-page letter by author Bram Stoker to Victorian actor Sir Henry Irving (Stoker's inspiration for Count Dracula) signed by Bram Stoker.
From the collection of Doctor Roger Anderson & Christian Jüssen and previously the personal library of Baron Athlumney II.
London: Archibald Constable and Company, 1897. First Edition; presumed first print (or possible second printing); probable second issue with the thinner, coated stock, miscut pages, and the last page advertising The Shoulder of Shasta. The two (or multiple) printings were bound and stamped identically, and there are several issues of both. The earliest (as determined by those copies inscribed by the author on, or near publication day) have no publisher's advertisements at all. Copies advertising Dracula are obviously later, although perhaps not by very long. 1899 previous owner's inscription "W.F W Domell June 1899".
Remarkably light foxing, corners bumped, with original yellow cloth fully intact, crack to front interior front paper which does not affect the spine itself or the books' presentation, tight spine, pages "fan", normal shelfwear to yellow cloth, miscut pages (as issued), partial crack to the back endpaper with no paper loss, a shallow 1cm nick bottom-center of the spine-cloth above the "t" in "Constable". Typical soiling/age toning to front and back. Cocked right. Clean text block.
Including a handwritten, certified (L.W. Currey Inc.) two-page letter by Author BRAM STOKER in his capacity as a secretary to the legendary Victorian actor Sir Henry Irving (Stoker's inspiration for Count Dracula) and boldly signed at the bottom by Stoker in his characteristic hand.
The letter is written of LYCEUM THEATRE stationary, date 1st July, 1901...and reads as follows:
1 July 1901
Dear Mr. Hertschel,
Sir Henry Irving asks me to write for him to say that he is sorry there will be not be any possibility of his going to luncheon tomorrow. He would as I have said for him be only too happy to go if it were possible & he asks me to say that he was very much surprised to see a telegraph that he was to go or even (...) he was to sit. He trusts you will not know any such (...) to be sent you (...) with luncheon....in keeping any appointment which he makes & can't imagine how such a....occurred.
Believe me, Truly

A beautiful copy of this scarce wartime book in an equally beautiful dust jacket. When Professor Robert Branch's best friend is found dead, he knows that it can't have been suicide. He is certain that it is murder .... a murder arranged by a Nazi espionage group operating on campus. The only trouble is, no one will believe him. Branch also knows that those same Nazis will have him eliminated as soon as it is convenient. He's even narrowed his choice of executioner down to three ... a psychotic homosexual, a respected educator, and the women he loves!

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
