Description

Los Angeles: Fantasy Publishing, 1948. In Very Good condition in the publisher's full green cloth. The spine is stamped in gilt. Octavo. [xvii] + 170pps., + 11 plates including a frontispiece of the subject. No dustjacket. The binding is slightly shaken, though sound, with all pages intact. Otherwise clean and bright. No previous ownership markings. This edition is limited to 1,000 copies, with this copy being out of series. Includes 'About Myself' by Shiel (New Revised Version). ".In 1932 John Gawsworth undertook the original provision of 'Notes Toward A Definitive Bibliography' of Shiel in 'Ten Contemporaries.' But these pioneer descriptions were of first editions only and, like most bibliographies, always left the Shiel enthusiast panting for more complete information. Gawsworth stopped just short of the contents of the book. I have now taken the next step. This present volume collates or lists all known editions of Shiel's thirty novels. And in order to acquaint the reader with Shiel's honeyed, frenzied madness, I have commented briefly upon the contents of his romantic fantasies. This work is therefore something more than the usual dull bibliography." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded. Thanks for your interest in Nooks Of Books.. Limited First Edition. Hard Cover.

Terms of Sale:


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
