About This Item
NY: Street & Smith, [c.1900].. 284pp. Later wrappers of Pratt's Circulating Library, Denver. Chipped at edges, paper very browned, very good. Six pages of ads for Street & Smith's "Magnet Library" at the front. The American edition was first published in New York by Bonner, as No. 95 in their series "The Ledger Library" (also cited elsewhere as being Volume 95 in their "Choice Series"). This Street & Smith edition cites the Bonner edition on the verso of the title, saying: "From 'Novellen-Schatz, ' Vol. 32. Published by S. Zickel, 129 Duane St., New York". A complex murder mystery, about an American accused of murder in Germany, much to do with forged bank documents and a valuable antique gold watch. Very scarce.
