About This Item
New York, New York, New York, Garden City: Dell 283, Bantam A910, Bantam A894, Perma P127 Book. Good. Paperback. 1sts thus.. 16mo - over 5¾ - 6¾" tall. A collection of four historical novels, some of which you may have heard of, others of which may be new to you, but all of which once had their day in the sun, and are looking for another brief moment in the light before the next time-travel historical sensation pushes them even further into the shadows. Or words to that effect. In the Allen title (a Dell map-back), Adverse looks to Cuba "for relief from the vague restlessness which assails him." The Bromfield story is a "turbulent novel of 1862 -- and the Yankee seizure of New Orleans." Krepps offers "A Historical Novel of Barbaric Africa in the 1820s." And Roark gives us "the story of men who plundered the gold of the East -- to buy the pleasures of its women." All four books are intact and readable, but as with all vintage paperbacks, careful reading is required in order to ensure that they'll endure more than one reading. Sorry, but no substitutions of titles..
