Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Illustrations by H. Richard Boehm (illustratore). The eleventh Tom Swift adventure, originally copyright 1912. Glossy frontispiece. "Very-good" book in a "good" dust jacket with unsightly white scrapes down right side of front panel; jacket spine considerably sun-faded. PON in ink to top of blank FFE. This book lists 32 Tom Swift titles (through "His House On Wheels," 1929) both to jacket front flap and to ad pages at rear -- and also 12 "Radio Boys" to rear flap, through "On the Pacific" (1929.) Copyright page lists only 12 Swifts, through "Air Glider." But jacket rear panel and internal ad both list nine Don Sturdy titles through "Lion Land" (1929), which should be enough to clinch 1929 as the date of issue. (You can of course always buy from some seller who lists every copy of this title by the copyright date "1912," if you prefer.) Howard R. Garis (1873-1962), of Uncle Wiggily fame and here writing under the Appleton house name of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, retains for comic relief here the unforgettable (and far from "politically correct") Eradicate Sampson, though alas, we seem to be missing Koku, the superstitious Samoan. Finally discovering the underground City of Gold, Tom and his companions of course follow the best practice of all turn-of-the-century archaeologists, promptly proceeding to pull down a giant gold statue in hopes of hauling it home. (Come on. You'd leave all that gold behind? Or turn it over to "de gubbiment"?) 216 pp. followed by 4 pp. publisher's ads, also including seven "X Bar X Boys" through "At Rustlers' Gap" (1929, of course.) Reduced from $47.

Tom Swift and His Wireless Message / Or The Castaways of Earthquake Island
Editore: Grosset & Dunlap, New York, 1929
Libro
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. Illustrations by H. Richard Boehm (illustratore). Glossy frontispiece. This is the sixth Tom Swift adventure, originally copyright 1911. "Very-good" book in a good dust jacket missing bottom inch-and-a-half of jacket spine. This book lists 31 Tom Swift titles (through "His Talking Pictures" (1928) to jacket front flap, but 32 through "His House on Wheels" (1929) to internal ads at rear. We count 11 "Radio Boys" through "Aiding the Snowbound" (1928) to jacket rear flap; jacket rear panel and internal ads both list seven Don Sturdys through "Among the Gorillas" (1927.) We'll presume a publication date of 1929. Unfortunately, it seems to have proven logistically impossible to haul along the always amusing "colored man" Eradicate Sampson and his recalcitrant mule to Earthquake Island, but Howard R. Garis (1873-1962) -- of Uncle Wiggily fame and here writing under the Appleton house name of the Stratemeyer Syndicate -- does manage to give him and the trusty "Boomerang" a brief introductory comic turn, delivering a telegram. Alas, no sign of Koku, the superstitious Samoan. 211 pp. Reduced from $37.
