Paperback. Etat : Good. Sherlock Holmes and the Railway Maniac (2001) by Barrie Roberts ? Condition: Good (Crappy Old Books) When it comes to Sherlock Holmes, the game is always afoot?even if the afoot in question is currently standing on a railway platform. In Sherlock Holmes and the Railway Maniac (Allison and Busby, 2001, ISBN: 0340040491), Barrie Roberts takes Conan Doyle?s legendary detective off Baker Street and onto the steam-powered arteries of Victorian Britain. The case: a string of railway-related outrages, where sabotage and obsession turn the romance of the rails into a deadly menace. Holmes, with Watson at his side, must navigate soot, smoke, and timetables to track down a villain whose mania threatens more than just punctual arrivals. Roberts captures the familiar rhythms of Doyle?s style?Holmes?s deductive brilliance, Watson?s loyal narration, the fog of London and the clatter of trains?while adding his own flourish of mechanical menace. For fans of pastiche done with care, this is a pleasingly atmospheric ride. Now, this copy comes from the whistle-stop depot that is Crappy Old Books , and it?s rated Good . Which means: the cover shows signs of travel (a scuff here, a softened corner there, perhaps the faint smudge of coal dust in our imaginations), the spine has been flexed like a ticket punched at a busy station, and the pages have aged into a mellow sepia, as if they?d been waiting under gaslight. But the binding is strong, the text clean, and the mystery entirely intact. No missing timetables, no tea stains from the refreshment carriage, no pencilled deductions in the margins. Just a solid, seasoned copy. In short: Sherlock Holmes and the Railway Maniac is a lively addition to the great detective?s unofficial adventures, packed with steam, suspense, and suitably eccentric villainy. This copy is in Good condition: travelled, dependable, and ready for another passenger. Another sturdy survivor from Crappy Old Books, where even Holmes can still catch the train on time.

Hardback. Etat : Near Fine. Edward Ardizzone (illustrateur). Daddy-Long-Legs (1977) by Jean Webster ? Condition: Near Fine (Crappy Old Books) Jean Webster?s Daddy-Long-Legs is one of those timeless novels that proves epistolary fiction can be every bit as charming?and addictive?as binge-watching a rom-com series. First published in 1912, it tells the story of Jerusha ?Judy? Abbott, an orphan sent to college by an anonymous benefactor she nicknames ?Daddy-Long-Legs.? The entire novel unfolds through Judy?s witty, warm, and increasingly self-assured letters to her mysterious patron, chronicling not only her education but also her blossoming independence, sense of humour, and heart. It?s part Cinderella story, part coming-of-age novel, and part sly social commentary?all with a heroine who sparkles on the page. This 1977 Hodder and Stoughton edition (ISBN: 0340040491) keeps the magic intact, offering readers a reminder that sometimes the most delightful plots come wrapped in the simplest packages. Judy?s voice is clever and candid, her observations sharp, and her growth from wide-eyed orphan to confident young woman still resonates more than a century later. Think Anne of Green Gables meets You?ve Got Mail , only with more mystery around who exactly is footing the tuition bill. Now, about the copy: it?s sold by the unvarnished truth-tellers at Crappy Old Books , and it?s rated Near Fine . That means the cover is clean and bright, the spine is strong, and the pages are crisp with only the faintest hints of age. No folded corners, no scrawled ?Judy + Daddy-Long-Legs = 4eva? in the margins, no teardrops from orphans real or fictional. It?s just shy of perfect?like Judy herself, occasionally cheeky, always lovable, and absolutely ready to win you over. In short: Daddy-Long-Legs is a sparkling classic of wit, romance, and self-discovery. This copy is in Near Fine condition?remarkably fresh for its age, full of charm, and ready to leap gracefully onto your shelf. Another endearing find from Crappy Old Books, where even long-legged benefactors arrive looking spry. N° de réf. du vendeur 4477
