Beschreibung
8vo, light red pictorial & lettered wrappers with B&W side-view of Inspector Sholto Lestrade of the Yard, illustrated throughout with B&W line drawings by M.J. Trow: cover portrait, its repro on half title, 11 full-page sketches (one being a double-spread) of characters in the Lestrade series of novels; plus full-page comments on 8 Lestrade novels, [20] pages. Meirion James Trow (born 1949) writes mysteries under the name M. J. Trow. A former history teacher, Trow has written one historical series based on Kit Marlowe, and a series about a contemporary teacher-turned-sleuth named Peter Maxwell. His "Inspector Lestrade" series is based on the wellknown character from the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. This fragile illustrated overview piece of ephemera by Trow is VERY SCARCE. EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION in all respects! No remainder marks! As is characteristic of Constable: No printings are indicated on copyright page. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5828

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.
