Description | #4 isaac Bell. A fine copy in matching slipcase, signed by both authors on the limitation page. Numbered editions are numbered 1-98, have custom 3/4 marbled boards in a matching slip-case. "It is 1910, the age of flying machines is still in its infancy, and newspaper publisher Preston Whiteway is offering $50,000 for the first daring aviator to cross America in less than fifty days. He is even sponsoring one of the prime candidates - an intrepid woman named Josephine Frost - and that's where Bell, chief investigator for the Van Dorn Detective Agency, comes in. Frost's violent-tempered husband has just killed her lover and tried to kill her, and is bound to make another attempt. Bell has tangled with Harry Frost before, and knows the man has made his millions leading gangs of thieves, murderers, and thugs in every city across the country. He also knows Frost won't be after only his wife, but after Whiteway. And if Bell takes the case... Frost will be after him too." |

Seller | Rare Collections is a specialist book dealer based in Cape Town. We predominantly focus on collectable, signed and investment books that cover a wide range of genres, including Speculative Fiction (Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror), Modern First Editions, Fine Press Books, Signed Books and more. Most of our listings will show a discount, this is not intended as a cheap marketing tool, but rather an actual indication of the discount offered to our South African customers compared to the same listing for international buyers. We achieve this via several means, but predominantly due to the lower shipping cost compared to international courier charges, which we subsidize. Our books are purchased by collectors world-wide, our selection on BidorBuy has been carefully curated and priced for our South African customers, giving value and access to books which rarely (if ever) are seen on the local market. As investment category books are priced in USD (as is the case on our website), and do not carry capital gains tax. Our USD price is always competitive with international trends and our South African pricing even more so. We always send a letter of provenance with each sale, providing information on the history and ownership of your book to the extend that the information is available to us. We make a concerted effort to source books in collectable condition and the majority of our stock is obtained from the USA and UK. We also strive to provide detailed descriptions and photos of each of our books to make sure you have all the buying information you might require. We guarantee that our descriptions are accurate, this guarantee does not expire and in the VERY UNLIKELY event that we have made a mistake you are welcome to return the book for a full refund. We use internationally accepted ratings of book condition. We will generally not list books that are rated below VG and we strive to have the majority of our books listed having at least VG+ or better rating. In cases where a book also has a dust jacket we will give a rating for both the book and dust jacket (DJ). As New (AN): The book is in the same immaculate condition as when it was published. This could be the description for a book that has been lost in a warehouse for years, never shelved, thumbed or even opened yet may still be some years old. We are always happy to discuss our other available books (not all are listed) or source something special for our customers. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any particular requests or questions. |
