New York & London: Samuel French. New York & London, Samuel French, 1910. First Edition. First Impression. Paperback. A good copy. A play involving a robot of sorts.

None: None. None, None, c1907? Manuscript. Unbound. Fine condition. It's unclear exactly for what edition this was intended and if indeed it was the final one used. That's not for a lack of research, try as I might I've been unable to locate a picture of the German edition(s) in jacket. My assumption that this was intended for the Muller (first) edition of 1907 is due to its similarity in design to Nachtmahr which carried a similar design for the author's name. 260*195mm. Similarly, details about the aritst Neumann are lacking. One of the vaguest catalogue descriptions I've written, I concede. [8553, Hyraxia Books]. c1907? . Fine. Unbound. Manuscript. 1907.

London: Mills & Boon. London, Mills & Boon, 1928. First Edition. First Impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. Uncommon in the jacket. Listed in Hubin as a crime work. Harraden was a suffragette and much of her work directly alludes to her standpoint, though short of reading this I can't suggest that the present novel follows suit. The book's pretty much in great shape with just a little edgewear and tanning to the spine. The jacket's really nice given the fact that it's 1920s. [9998, Hyraxia Books]. . Near Fine.
