Soft cover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. Jinks, John (illustrator). A Good copy of a title in which "After twenty years of marriage Blanche Vernon is alone; abandoned by her husband Bertie for a childishly demanding computer expert named Mousie. While Blanche finds this turn of events baffling, she feels that Bertie must have left her because of her overly sensible demeanor. Yet many of their mutual friends disagree. In fact, Blanche has come to be regarded as undeniably eccentric--making elliptical remarks that no one knows how to read, and chatting at great length about characters in fiction. She resolutely fills her unwanted hours with activities, maintaining her excellent appearance, drinking increasingly more wine, and, in an attempt to turn her energy to good works, becoming severely enmeshed in the life of a disordered young family" Wear to wrappers with scratching creasing and curling.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. Jacket art by Bob Scott, AND (for "Jade Woman") cubist jacket painting by John Jinks (illustrator). 1st Edition. "The Very Last Gambado" states "First Edition: September 1990." Number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 -- the first printing. A small, light brown smudge to top page edges, but nonetheless as-new unread.(Boards resist opening past 60 degrees.) "Last Gambado" is inscribed to book collector Wayne Warga and signed "Jonathan Gash" in blue ink to the title page. (Our second volume, Jade Woman," is a jacketed hardcover Book Club Edition -- no printing stated; no ISBN found. "Jade Woman" is NOT signed.) Englishman John Grant made himself a successful career as a medical doctor, specializing in tropical diseases. Then he decided to see if he could also make a success in a second career, writing mystery novels set in the world of the antique dealers (and fakers) with whom he'd become familiar while working his way through med school in the antique and junk shops of London's Portobello Road. "The Judas Pair" -- written under the pen name of Jonathan Gash -- was a huge success, and the Lovejoy series eventually even gave birth to a television franchise, starring Ian McShane. So is it really the place of those of us who can claim no such chain of triumphs to complain that by the time Mr. Grant (Gash) gets to these, the 12th and 13th in the series, the formula by which he lards on the complexities, the number of hastily-sketched walk-on women and villains (and occasionally women villains) chasing our poor, down-on-his-luck antiques divvy across East Anglia (or Hong Kong) begins to seem a bit labored? The antique trivia and expertise are still here, as is the charming conceit that Lovejoy -- despite his unerring ability to recognize a valuable antique where others see nothing but dusty junk -- can never seem to keep so much as his electric bill paid, as he constantly fails in his efforts to be a better crook and less of a soft touch for the latest victimized widow. We enjoyed this one better on the second reading, though the sturm und drang endings do grow increasingly far-fetched. (In "Gambado," Lovejoy is hired as an "antiques consultant" by a movie crew filming a -- supposedly fictional -- heist at the supposedly invulnerable British Museum. Needless to say, skullduggery ensues.) 275 pp. and 210. pp., respectively. Two Jonathan Gash hardcover Lovejoy mysteries in jackets, combined into a lot to consolidate shipping charge, the pair now reduced from $20. Signed by Author(s).
