Hardcover. Zustand: Like New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Like New. First Edition. Hardback book in nearly new condition with just a small publisher's 'damaged' stamp; even so not showing any defects, no splits, no cracks, no pen-marks, just some very minor surface rubbing and moderate shelf wear. Contents are crisp, tight and fresh. Complete with original dustjacket, showing well, sharp and bright. Thus a never read book still in very presentable condition now offered for sale at a sensible price.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good dj. Reprint. [a good sound copy, very slight bumping to lower tips, one-time owner's ink notes regarding date & place of purchase plus brief comment at top of front endpaper, on which there also appears the signature of a previous owner; NOTE also that the pages have a kind of brownish striation lines; the jacket is edgeworn, faded at the spine (but all text still readable), with light soiling and tiny bits of paper loss at several corners, a couple of closed tears internally tape-repaired]. "An Alan Miller Mystery," as were all three books by this admittedly psudonymous author, all of which were published in 1933 and 1934. (This title was originally issued by The Vanguard Press.) Alan Miller is described in the jacket blurb as "that oddity among detectives, a Chief of Polie in a suburban town whose wholesomeness and normalcy are a refreshing contrast to the prevalent crop of supersensitive sleuths." The book itself is described as a "somewhat unusual book -- an intelligent mystery story which has a considerable degree of urbanity and humor intermingled with an exhilarating series of thrilling and puzzling events." (For all those claims, though, it does follow a kind of Philo Vance-y style, by presenting the reader with detailed floor plans of the scene of the crime.) Co-author Yates, who was also quite active as a Hollywood screenwriter, later wrote a few additional mysteries under his own name; his collaborator Marshall apparently did not. The rear jacket flap biography of "Peter Hunt" is pretty funny: while admitting that the name is a pseudonym, it presents a long laundry list of the author's vitae -- schools, jobs (dozens!), etc. (I would tentatively assume these to be Yates's details -- "scenario writer" is buried in the middle of the list of jobs -- but haven't researched this.) It's possible this might have been some sort of book club edition: there is no printed price on the jacket, and the rear-panel blurb announces another title, "Coming Next Month," and in the fine print stating its availability "to members exclusively.".

Soft cover. Zustand: New. viii, 202 pages ; 23 cm. Based on research in archival materials in the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, the United States, and France, this book analyzes the impact of the Chinese occupation on the revolutionary situation in Vietnam in 1945 and 1946. Revising previous accounts that viewed the Chinese occupation as an extension of Chinese "warlord" politics into Vietnam, this study offers new answers to questions about the Chinese involvement in, and contributions to, the Vietnamese August Revolution.
