- first
Philadelphia, London: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1937. Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-6 [7-10] 11-308, inserted frontispiece with color illustration by Reginald Mills, black and white illustrations in text, some full page, by Thomas Somerfield, original pictorial light blue cloth, front and spine panels stamped in black, top edge stained orange. First U.S. edition. Published earlier in Britain as THE MENACE OF THE TERRIBORE (1936). International criminal with advanced war-craft (capable of traveling under water and boring through the earth) plunders at will, seemingly immune to the British military force attempting to destroy his vehicle. Locke, A Spectrum of Fantasy, p. 148. Bleiler (1948), p. 130. Reginald 09494A. Not in Hubin (1979; 1994). A bright, nearly fine copy in very good four-color pictorial dust jacket (front panel reproduces the frontispiece painting by Reginald Mills) with light wear at edges and 70 mm closed tear at top edge of front panel. A nice example of the colorful and very scarce jacket. (#147197)
