Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. First American Edition. (no dust jacket) [light external soiling and moderate shelfwear, small vintage bookseller's rubber stamp (Bertrand Smith's Book Store, Long Beach, California) at bottom corner of front pastedown]. English novel, about something or other -- artists, some kind of school, people having affairs with one another, the staff of an art magazine. (Do you have any idea how hard it is to synopsize a novel when you can't find any reviews, and the dust jacket is missing? I'd read the darn thing if I had time, but alas.) The author was a longtime educator, who taught in Japan, China, India and England; his most famous book was "The Sexual Impulse," published in England in 1935, which led to the prosecution of his publishers for obscenity. Is it worth noting that the publishers misspell their own name on the title page and copyright page ("Shephard" instead of "Shepard")? They got it right on the binding. …

A previous owner has further provided a typed list of names, with a comparison of fictional person and place names, alongside their corresponding real ones, which has been pasted to the inside front board. Further annotations, likely in Broadbridge's hand, have been provided to the contents page and at Parts I and IV, correcting Mexico to California, and Bokistan to Afghanistan. A fascinating copy of this pre-war thriller, which caused a huge stir at M15 upon publication. Written under the pseudonym "Charles Trevor", the information contained wherein led the secret services to suspect that the author was in fact Edward Barrett, the former Commissioner of the Shanghai Municipal Police. Barrett had previously been a novelist before he was recruited to head the SMP's India intelligence activities in Shanghai, and it was this, coupled with the opening part of the novel (which sees German diplomats enticing Indian activists to plot against the British) which aroused suspicion. With concerns from the India office that Barrett might be disclosing sensitive information, the India Office and M15 in London attempted to halt the publication entirely, but after discussions with the publisher, edits were made, and it was discovered a) that much of the information was already in the public domain and b) that they had the wrong Edward Barrett. The source was actually a professional writer by the name of Broadbridge, who had been given the information via a different man, who had been in service with the West Kent Regiment on India's North West frontier during WW1 (and who had never visited Shanghai). Despite the edits, the resulting work is a riveting romp across Europe, which covers such areas as Mexico, Germany, Switzerland and India during the First World War, where plots and schemes are pitted against the British Intelligence Service, culminating in a dramatic conclusion set in a thinly-veiled Afghanistan ('Bokistan'). An incredibly scarce copy of this spy novel, rare indeed with these attributes More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.…

A substantial run of the famed Western Story Library featuring Ted Strong westerns which would eventually number 75 titles. Ted Strong was a character originally created by Street & Smith's Young Rough Rider Weekly as an homage to Theodore Roosevelt's campaign for a second Presidential term. Strong owned a Dakota ranch similar to Roosevelt's, and with his gang of eastern boys dressed in khaki uniforms such as those worn by the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War, they cleaned up the territory for law and order. Published bi-monthly, these stories re-issued Ted Strong westerns originally published in the Young Rough Rider Weekly, and later collected in the New Medal Library. Later volumes contained new material and collected stories from the Wild West Weekly. See: J. Randolph Cox, The Dime Novel Companion, p. 278; Bold, Oxford History of Popular Culture, 6, p. 321.…
