Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+ dj. Illustrated by (dj design) Tim Gaydos (illustratore). First American Edition. [good sound copy with minimal wear, nice and clean expect for a few tiny spots on the fore-edge, one-time owner's initials plus date & place of purchase and a brief comment written in ink along the edge of the rear pastedown (concealed beneath the jacket flap); the jacket is also quite nice with only faint handling wear, but has a narrow tea-stain at the lower left corner of the front panel, extending onto the very bottom of the spine]. "Mullion Castle is a very Stately Home. When the paying customers aren't cluttering up the place, it's the home of the Earl and his family, who include his delightful daughters Patty and Boosie, and dotty Great-aunt Camilla. Also his wife, whose portrait he has now commissioned his old school-fellow, Charles Honeybath R.A., to paint." Honeybath is then tasked with figuring out who is swapping out original paintings in the castle for substitutes, and why. Honeybath was Innes's late-career series character, introduced in 1974; this was his fourth (and last) solo adventure, although he was featured in one additonal book, "Appleby and Honeybath" (1983), in which he was teamed with Innes's much-longer-running series character, ex-Scotland Yard Inspector-turned-Police Commissioner Sir John Appleby.

Condizione: Stockholm 1890. 8:o. 16 s. Ngt nött, reva nederst längs ryggvecket, första uppslaget men svag missfärgning efter tidningsurklipp el. dyl. "Raaben" avser förstås den legendariske uppsalapolismästaren friherre Nils Edvard Axelson Raab (1841-1901), som blev huvudperson i många historier från Uppsala genom sitt krångliga, och förvirrade uttryckssätt i tal och skrift. Albert Engström odödliggjorde Raab genom många historier med teckningar, bland annat i tidningen Strix, och han finns också omnämnd i minnesböcker om studentlivet i det sena 1800-talets Uppsala. Poeten Fredrik Harald Jacobson (1863-1913) blev 1882 student vid Uppsala universitet, där han avlade filosofie kandidatexamen 1891. Han debuterade 1890 med diktsamlingen Solregn. "Samhällets missförhållanden, komplicerade känslostämningar och en hänförd dyrkan av särskilt Italiens sköna natur utgör huvudmoment i hans diktning, som till hela sin form visar samband med äldre svensk lyrik men som, på grund av formella ojämnheter, inte förmått att göra sig riktigt gällande" (!).

According to colleagues at Second Story Books, this books was "published mysteriously four years after the death of Doors' frontman, singer/songwriter, and poet Jim Morrison, THE BANK OF AMERICA OF LOUISIANA was written anonymously, allegedly by a eccentric from an influential Louisiana family who claimed to have been possessed by Morrison during an acid trip and changed his name to match.".

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good+. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good dj. First American Edition.

(Red Badge Detective) Series An early mystery by this prolific author (his sixth, although apparently the fifth to be published in the U.S., out of more than forty that he eventually published under the Innes name); previously published in England under the more fanciful title "There Came Both Mist and Snow." More than half of his mysteries featured Sir John Appleby, who in this country house mystery finds himself dealing with the internecine violence within "a large family, a witty and talented one -- writer, artist, explorer, etc. -- full of eccentricities, jealousies, and schemes" that has gathered together for a fortnight in the country, "to discuss various problems of family inheritance" -- and each equipped with a pistol, for some recreational(!) target shooting. What could go wrong? One of the harder-to-find Innes titles in an original edition. (Incidentally, in case you were wondering, this book is completely unrelated to the 1963 comedy/horror film of the same name, written by Richard Matheson and directed by Jacques Tourneur.).

Publisher's original buff wrapper printed in black and red, original glassine dust jacket. Titlepage to the contrary, there is no record of an English erotic novel, Flogger Papers; the title under notice appears to be an original French flagellation novel of stern ladies and gents with whips and submissive ladies on the receiving end. A whipping good time is had by all. Particularly noteworthy are the illustrations by "Jim Black," one of handful of pseudonyms used by Luc Lafner (1899-1939), a Belgian who studied at the Académie des Beaux-Arts de Liège, moved to Paris in 1923, and illustrated thirty-one books (the majority erotic novels) before his untimely death at age 40.
