About this Item

The manager of Books on Benefit has died under mysterious circumstances, and one of the rarest books in the world is missing -- if it ever existed at all. Did James the Just, oldest surviving brother of Jesus of Nazareth, write a book about the suppressed secrets of his brother's ministry, and the plan to help him survive the crucifixion? The number of strange characters descending on the scene, determined to lay hands on the missing volume, indicate powerful forces believe the book exists -- and are hell-bent on making sure "The Testament of James" never sees the light of day. Aided only by a small band of College Hill misfits, can the unorthodox methods of Matthew Hunter, tracer of lost books, find the Testament in time to keep the Forces of Darkness from condemning the Western World to yet another long, dismal night of ignorance and repression? From the author of "Send in the Waco Killers," "The Ballad of Carl Drega," and "The Black Arrow" comes a tale of rare books, hidden sacraments, and strange goings-on in one of America's oldest cities. With plenty of cats. Only 650 copies of the numbered, signed, hardcover first printing of the novel "The Testament of James" will be sold. First editions of Vin's 2002 non-fiction book, "The Ballad of Carl Drega," in a trade paperback printing of 5,000 copies, originally sold for $24.95. "Carl Drega" is out of print; signed copies now fetch more than $75 online. Cat's Curiosities exclusively offers the signed, hardcover first printing of Vin's brave new drug-war novel, "The Testament of James." It ain't your grandpa's used bookstore. Reduced from $28.

Terms of Sale:

While we mark down our unsold books on a regular basis, our "BEST PRICE" on any given day is the price posted. We purposely avoid selling on the "Make me an offer" auction sites, where every book is "acceptable" and paperback reprints of "The Great Gatsby" bearing ISBNs and barcodes are listed as "published 1925." And we DECLINE to jack up our prices by 20 percent so we can offer every supplicant a supposed 10 or 15 percent "discount," thus turning anyone who simply pays our asking price into a ...

Shipping Terms:

Orders usually ship within 2 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2.2 lbs., or 1 kg. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. Please make sure your e-mail program will accept such an inquiry from an ABE Books address. "SHIPPING RATE" is a small pull-down menu at ABE. Media mail is the default setting; you may choose "Priority," which costs more but carries some automatic insurance protection, if you wish. To keep our basic shipping rate competitive, we do not routinely pay out of pocket to insure books valued under $50. HOWEVER (SIGNATURE REQUIRED): We now ship all parcels valued at $90 or more "signature required," at our expense. Customers are responsible to provide a secure shipping address. In the case of shipments valued over $90. Should no adult signer be available when the mailman calls, buyers should be on the lookout for a "notice of attempt to deliver." We ship in boxes -- not plastic bags. In our experience, deliveries to France, Italy and Western Australia can take from three to 13 weeks, regardless of shipping method. We cannot control Customs delays in such countries, the luxurious seasonal vacation schedules of government functionaries, nor the proudly announced preference of Australian postal authorities to spend a week shipping even "Priority" packages across the continent from Sydney to Perth by truck -- camels apparently not being consistently available.
