- first
London: John Murray, 1924. Octavo, pp. [1-6] 7 [8] 9-320, original decorated blue cloth, front panel stamped in black, spine panel stamped in yellow. First edition. Mixed collection of short fiction including some supernaturalism and crime. In "Possessed," a haunted antique chair reveals the source of its power in the remains of an old Spaniard. Curious and magical objects are encountered in other stories, as well. Part of a series of books collecting stories about Joe Quinney, a crafty English dealer in art and antiques with "the wisdom of the serpent and the unwavering determination to come out on top." Sequel to QUINNEYS' (1914), a very popular book upon which a four-act play was based. Bleiler (1978), p. 197. Hubin (1994), p. 816. Touch of rubbing to spine ends and corner tips, top edge a bit dusty, some mild scattered foxing, mostly to page edges, a very good copy. A scarce edition of this book. (#130573)
