About this Item

(London: Ward Lock & Co., Limited 1916). First UK Edition. First edition. pp. 303, (i) blank, 16 Advertisements at the rear of the book for Ward Lock's popular fiction. Frontispiece, with tissue guard. Publisher's original blue cloth with gilt lettering to the spine and front board. Spine tips softened otherwise a bright and clean VG+ copy with with some light foxing to the page block edges which has crept into the text block in places. In the EXCEEDINGLY SCARCE VG dust wrapper which has been clipped to all 4 corners. The front panel of the D/W matches the frontispiece. The spine is darkened and there is shallow loss at the head and tail thereof. One of the legendary scarce titles of the Edgar Wallace canon. Kiddle gives it a rarity factor of 275 and regards it is a "great rarity". In our experience it turns up - from time tom time - without D/W but in its original D/W it is VIRTUALLY UNHEARD-OF. The last copy of this book to appear in D/W was about 12+ years ago. Photographs/scans available up[on request.
