Erstausgabe Signiert
First edition of this uncommon novel, presentation copy inscribed by both authors on the front free endpaper to notable book collector Samuel Garcia Asher (c. 1868-1938) "To Dear old Sam, from his old pal 'Swears' Ernest Wells, 'Pot' H. P. Stephens"; and with his armorial bookplate to the front pastedown. Uncommon: WorldCat locates only nine copies in the US and four in the UK (BL, Cambridge, NLS, Dublin); WorldCat adds two more copies (Oxford, London Library). Octavo. Original dark blue cloth, titles in red and black to spine and front cover, pictorial designs to latter in red, black, and white of a devilish "swell" set against a moonlit London cityscape. Title printed in red and black, 4 pp. of publisher's advertisements at end. Cocked, corners gently bumped, extremities a little rubbed, the binding otherwise unfaded and square, front hinge cracked but firm, faint spotting to endpapers, internally clean and fresh; a very good copy.
