Beschreibung
8vo, gray cloth with brown label & gilt flourishes, Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket (price clipped) illustrated with 40 engravings by Philip Kappel, pictorial endpapers, red topstaining for dust protection by publisher, [viii] + 306 pages + [1] concluding illustration. John Philips Marquand (1893-1960) first became well known for his "Mr. Moto" spy series which were made into movies starring Peter Lorie during the 1930's. His other crime novels included Ming Yellow (1935); Don't Ask Questions (1941); Repent in Haste (1945, L: 1949); and It's Loaded, Mr. Bauer (1949); Stopover: Tokyo (1957). Marquand was also a distinguished novelist who treated American society (often the upper classes) with sensitivity, respect, and satire. Thus, he won a Pulitzer for The Late George Apley in 1938. Timothy Dexter Revisited is an historical fiction set in Newburyport--the author's hometown--during the 18th century. The author's literary novels include: The Unspeakable Gentleman (1922); The Black Cargo (1925); Waring Hill (1930); THE LATE GEORGE APLEY (1937) for which he won the Pulizer Prize in 1938; Wickford Point (1939); H. M. Pulham, Esquire (1942); So Little Time (1944); B. F.'s Daughter (1946); Point of No Return (1949); the aforesaid Melville Goodwin (1952); Sincerely, Willis Wayde (1955); as well as Women and Thomas Harrow (1958). Marquand's novel Melville Goodwin (1951) was slated in 1956 for a movie starring Humphrey Bogart, but when throat cancer prevented Bogie from playing the leading role, Kirk Douglas then starred in the 1957 film. He also wrote several distinguished collections of short stories, essays, and articles, some of which included his perceptive analyses of sports. Exceptional Condition! No remainder marks; clean, bright, tight with superior dust jacket. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1815

Anbieterinformationen
We are professional booksellers, autograph dealers, and antiquarians (members of the ILAB & ABAA) who began in business in 1969. We pride ourselves on providing books, autographs, art, and artifacts in the Best Available Condition (typically Fine, Very interesting, Scarce, or Unusual items).
Our descriptions strive to be scrupulously accurate. Whenever possible, we detail flaws, include photographs of stock listed (rather than "stock photos"), and provide some background on the authors, creators...
Mehr InformationAll our books and items are carefully packed. They are usually shipped in Manilla padded-envelopes or sturdy boxes with additional bubble wrap, styrofoam "popcorn," or other protective layers. We strive to ship within 24 hours of receiving orders--allowing extra time for weekends or holidays.
Books shipped within the United States are usually shipped via USPS Media Mail. Postal charges for Media Mail typically run from $3.17 to around $5. When site-posted charges--usually $4.95--exceed actual USPS charges, any overage helps to defray our packaging and shipping costs.
Those books requiring extra-swift transport or -care are often shipped via USPS Priority Mail. Postage charges usually average $13.50 for up to precisely 2 pounds, but rapidly escalate thus possibly making it necessary to contact clients.
Autographs & manuscripts, art & artifacts are usually shipped in stout boxes with padding and reinforcement. Because Media Mail rates do not then apply, we normally use USPS Priority mail, but also ship via UPS and FedEx. Extra charges for insurance are often necessary for valuable items.
Overseas' shipments (as to Europe) weighing with packaging Not more than 2 pounds usually incur postage charges of between $13.50 to $25. Those between 2 - 4 pounds average around $35. Packages of more than 4 pounds usually need to be quoted.
