I'm doing a little “Spring Cleaning.” Offering book, dj and bookmark at the price of the dust jacket alone.

GROSSET & DUNLAP, 1909

There are four black and white illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy. I have no idea who to give credit to for the jacket, but it's a very fun wraparound dust jacket as you can see.

THE VOLUME: A very sturdy, tight, square and clean copy with a greatly faded spine and spine edges and some color loss along lower board edges like that clearly seen in the photo above. Hinges are great. Pages are clean and slightly age-toned. Endpapers show some darkening. There is a very discreet Christmas gift inscription and an inventory number on the first end paper.

THE DUSTJACKET: A Carefully Restored FACSIMILE copy of the dramatic wrap-around dust jacket, which sold with this edition from my own collection. The jacket was made from a scan of an original in very good condition, printed on one sheet of acid-free paper by an archival inkjet printer (60-80 yr. inks), and preserved in archival plastic. It comes with matching bookmark.

THE STORY: Lawrence Blakely wasn't taking any chances. The briefcase between his legs held evidence that would convict a powerful figure in Washington of forgery. An average man to whom nothing interesting ever happens finds himself involved with the police, a love affair, and murder. Excellent Mystery by renowned mystery writer, Mary Roberts Rinehart, who is one of my personal favorites.
