Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

First Edition (SD). Fairly rare book. And this one is in exceptional condition. Take a look at the photographs of the black covers. They are spotless. They have zero wear on the corners and edges. This book was published in 1938. The gilt lettering on the front cover and spine is very bright. The top page edge is a light orange. The worst that can be said about the covers is that there is a little crinkling at the spine ends. The spine is slightly slanted forward, however the binding of this book is very solid from beginning to end, no cracks, no spaces, no issues. The pages look terrific, exceptionally clean and without any wear of any kind, no creasing, no dogeared corners. They're also quite bright. They aren't toned or aged. Great paper. More good news: no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book and there aren't any markings or attachments. The only imperfection I found inside the book is on the rear inside cover, a tiny and slight surface scuff created by contact with a bit of adhesive from the protective dust jacket, my carelessness once upon a time, but fortunately with very minor effect. No doubt the dust jacket has done the job of protecting the book. Similarly the protective cover has done the job of protecting the dust jacket. Take a look of the first few photographs. The jacket is very clean. The colors are not faded. The only condition issue is the instances of scuffing/light peeling you can see, mostly off the front top edge and spine ends. The jacket's flaps are in excellent condition. The jacket is NOT price-clipped. I removed the protective cover and fitted the jacket, carefully, with a new one. From the dust jacket flap: ' Forbidden Path is an extraordinary novel. Set with a stinging reality against the background of an exclusive mental hospital, it tells the story of a young man's fight against himself. With complete frankness, the author describes the mysteries behind the austere doors. Then, in striking contrast to the narrative thread, like brief thunderbolts skilfully interposed, come the dramatic incidents of Bill Wheeler's crowded past.' Also in a quoted review on the front flap 'This "fiction" digs deeper into truth than fact writing ever could. It tears your heart, and then tells you something. It is hard-boiled, yet hope shines through. It's theme is salvation instead of damnation'.…

Shopbeschreibung

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
