A propos de cet article

First Odhams Press omnibus edition. ***Very good in dark green boards with gilt titles to spine. Head and tail of spine bumped. Pages clean. No inscriptions. ***In a very good colour-illustrated dustwrapper. Edges of dustwrapper slightly creased and rubbed. Surface scuffs to front and rear panels of dustwrapper. 204mm x 134mm. 520 pages. ***'After forty-odd years of muscling his way through life, adventurer Harvey Landon knew the score! Payment was generally by the bullet; notice was served when they dropped you in the river dead - complete with cement boots! But Harvey, down to small change in freezing New York, couldn't be choosy --- especially with a murder rap hanging round his neck.' ***A book packed with thrills and action.' [John o' London's - review of The Liberators by James Patterson] ***'Beware the suave, apologetic stranger who "accidentally " spills your drink. Watch the well-dressed gentleman who profusely thanks you for returning the plump wallet you "happened" to find. From such opening gambits, genial strangers Paul Sergeant and Gordon Russell, had swindled their way through £300,000, to become Europe's top con men!' ***'Taut, intelligent crook story.' [Spectator - review of The Genial Stranger by Donald Mackenzie] ***'All Britain took Mecron. Tired housewives used it. Jaded businessmen bought it. Not for nothing was it dubbed the "Executives' Friend". Mecron was the country's biggest-selling tranquillizer, soothingly effective --- harmless. Or was it? For if Mecron wasn't, then millions were innocently buying addiction, madness - even death! And what of a Government that allowed such a drug to slip through--- ***'Compulsively fascinating' [Evening Standard - review of The Unquiet Sleep by William Haggard] ***'The Man's Book. This exciting, entertaining big-value omnibus series for men, once again presents three action-packed books, complete and unabridged, in one superbly bound volume, at a fraction of their original cost. Action, suspense and thrills are the essential qualities of all the stories which are selected, from the pick of all the publishers' lists, by an all-male editorial board who know the kind of tough, hard-hitting reading that men prefer. By its policy of providing vigorous, virile reading of high quality, in fine bindings at a low cost, the Man's Book series has deservedly become the outstanding publishing triumph of recent years.' (Quote from blurb to inside rear and front of dustwrapper blurb respectively). ***First Odhams Press omnibus edition - now very hard to find complete in its original thin, fragile 1960s pulp fiction-style dustwrapper, illustrated by Jim Holdaway (unattributed) who, apparently, though unverified, was responsible for the attractive pulp style cartoon like colour illustrated dustwrappers of 'The Man's Book' in the early 1960s. A nice vintage 1960s reading copy of three action, suspense and thriller novels by James Pattinson, Donald Mackenzie and William Haggard. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …
