Description:
New York: Popular Library, 1963. First Printing, First Edition Thus. . Mass Market Paperback. Good Plus to Very Good. Vintage Paperback, Popular Library K58. The first of Buchan's suspense novels featuring British adventurer, Richard Hannay, originally published in 1915, is now considered a classic of the genre and one as readable today as it was nearly a hundred years ago. Hannay, in London only three months after growing up in South Africa, had only one clue to the cult called Black Stone, a few words --"Thirty-nine steps - I counted them." scrawled by a dead man. And not the least of Hannay's troubles was he was a fugitive, wanted for murder. Text is clean and unmarked, tight and square, with a couple of damp stains on the fore edge and lightly age-tanned margins. The pictorial wrappers, with cover art by William Teason, are worn but whole, without tears or chipping or significant creasing. A collectable copy.
