A propos de cet article

[sharp-looking copy, with no wear at all to book, and no internal markings; the jacket has the teensiest bit of surface wear (although you'll never notice it in its new mylar jacket cover)]. A new "augmented edition" of the author's only short-story collection, with tales ranging "from the idyllic to the macabre" -- mostly the latter, including the title story and the acknowledged classic "Whittington's Cat," about a young man tormented by a giant demonic feline. (The "augmentation" consists of a long Introduction about the author, by Christopher Roden, and the addition of two stories, "The Little Mermaid" and "No Ships Pass," that had not appeared in previous editions.) Although she lived only to the age of 43, Lady Smith racked up a lot of experience. Before she began turning out short fiction and the occasional novel in the early 1930s, she had already been a society reporter, a film critic and a circus publicist; she drew on all these careers to evoke, in her fiction, "the enchantment of the circus, the glamour of gypsydom, [and] the very spirit of the theatre." A number of her novels were adapted into British films in the 1930s and 1940s, and somehow she also found time to write a memoir of her travels, "Life's a Circus," published in 1939. The printing of this edition was limited to 500 copies.…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
