A propos de cet article

Flying Finish is often cited by Francis fans as the novel that announced he wasn't just writing entertainments — he was writing literature about class, identity, and the particular madness of wanting to escape the life you were born into. Henry Grey, reluctant heir to an earldom, finds himself ferrying racehorses across Europe for a living — and stumbling into something considerably more dangerous. Published in 1966, it's one of Francis's earliest and most admired titles. EDITION: First U.S. Edition. Copyright page states copyright 1966; no later printing indicators present; consistent with Harper & Row first printing practice for this period PUBLISHER: Harper & Row, 1966 CONDITION: Dust Jacket: Good. Front panel vivid with striking Union Jack Pegasus artwork intact; back panel shows heavy overall soiling and scattered foxing; significant chipping and fraying at head of spine; jacket in protective mylar sleeve Book: Very Good. Red cloth boards with distinctive red stained page edges, front board rolled slightly out of square; previous owner signature ("Martha Dowling") in ink on front free endpaper; small pencil mark same page; pages toned consistent with age A scarce early Francis title in original dust jacket, complete and sound. Shipped with care via USPS Media Mail with tracking.…

Description de la boutique

You're building something specific. Not just a shelf of books: a library with atmosphere. The kind of room that feels like it has a history before you walked into it. The problem is finding the real thing. The vintage market is full of book club editions dressed up as first printings, reprints with no dust jackets, and sellers who grade "Good" when they mean "survived a flood." It's time-consuming, confusing, and easy to overpay. That's where I come in. I'm Rob. I worked in the archive stacks at UW's Suzzallo Library. Gothic reading rooms, stained glass, the kind of place where books feel like they matter. I've been authenticating and grading vintage editions ever since. Now I spend weekends hunting first editions at estate sales across Northern California: literary horror, classic sci-fi, and Gothic fiction from the 1960s–1980s. The books that actually built the Dark Academia aesthetic, not the modern reprints cashing in on it. Every book in my shop has been verified for edition and graded honestly. Sometimes brutally. You'll know exactly what you're getting before it ships. Your order arrives wrapped in tissue paper with a wax seal sticker. Because the details matter, and you're not buying shelf filler. If you're building a library that looks like it belongs in a Victorian study instead of a big-box store, you're in the right place. Browse the collection.…
