About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press, 1982 Hard cover, with dust jacket in mylar, 1982. Real-life antiquarian bookseller and author, Roy Harley Lewis, brings us another fine mystery set in the exciting world of high-stakes manuscripts at auction. Is the sixteenth-century diary, purportedly written by a hitherto-unknown paramour of Shakespeare, authentic? How many will die attempting to acquire the priceless artifact? Fictional secret agent-turned book dealer Matthew McColl is the man to solve the crime. Condition: Very Good Plus with a Fine dust jacket. Top edge of text block has splatter (coffee maybe?) and the pastedowns and endpapers have a few spots and offset marks. Otherwise, the book and jacket are of excellent appearance.. First American edition. Hard Cover. Very Good Plus/Fine.
