Description:
New York: Dodd Mead & Company, 1929. English novelist Walter Frederick Morris (1892-1975) wrote this mystery based upon actual events during World War One; it was issued in the UK by Geoffrey Bles with the title "Bretherton." Eric Ambler, the master, thought highly of it. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the Third Printing (stated) of the First American Edition, lacking the dustjacket. Despite going to multiple printings, and with a popular edition by Grosset & Dunlap, it is rather an uncommon title. Yellow cloth binding with red titling on the spine and front cover, which is ruled in black witha black German helmet. Clean text; 306 pages; red topstain, others deckle. Very lightly bumped (kissed, really); spine darkened but lettering remains bright and clear. Light rub to head and foot. A solid copy.. Later Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Garden City & New York: Garden City Publishing Company, 1923. Dreiser's fifth novel, an autobiographical work on art and sexuality, was originally published by John Lane in 1915. The publisher withdrew it, fearing legal action by anti-vice organizations who considered it obscene.

This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of the Reprint edition. Black cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine. Clean text; 736 pages. Red topstain, others rough-cut.
