About This Item

New York: Dutton, 1964. Near Fine in a Near Fine dustjacket. Bound in full salmon-colored cloth. The spine is stamped in black. Octavo. 192pps. Stated First Edition. There is mild rubbing to the spine-ends and a small store price-label is affixed to the front pastedown. Otherwise clean, tight, square, and bright. The text is immaculate; no apparent reading wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, is rubbed along the folds and has light wear at the extremities; the original price is intact. A very nice copy.

"...Tiger Mann doesn't start out on a Communist-hunting assignment. He is just eating lunch with a columnist friend when his attention -- and that of everyone else in the restaurant -- is caught by the arrival of an outstandingly beautiful girl. The columnist identifies her as Edith Caine, an English girl of fine heritage and equally unusual abilities as a U.N. translator. But Tiger knows better: he recognizes her as Rondine Lund, an Austrian who was a Nazi spy during the war. Tiger had been in love with her -- had even saved her life. She had repaid him by shooting him and leaving him for dead.
Now Tiger is determined to get even -- to kill Rondine in his own good time -- after he finds out what she is up to at the U.N. For Tiger, it is largely a personal vendetta. But the secret organization behind Tiger wants him for a bigger mission: to stop a major Communist conspiracy..."

Terms of Sale

Nooks Of Books


Payment Methods Accepted:
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover Card, and checks or money orders made out to Jeffrey C. Wright. You can also, if you like, make your payment -- credit card or bank transfer -- through Paypal.com (Acct name: nooksofbooks@comcast.net).

Grading:
Dealers who are otherwise members of prestigious bookselling organizations should know that you can\'t grade a book Fine if it\'s remaindered; nor can a dustjacket be graded Fine that is price-clipped. And yet we see this sort of thing -- more and more -- and from all manner of establishments. It reflects poorly on the industry.
Thus, we recommend that any prospective online customer insist on a thorough description (such as are issued through these Nooks) for any collectible item. We\'re well-versed, here, in the grading process and we do so fairly if not conservatively.

Refunds:
We understand all too well the hesitancy of some collectors to make their purchases online, particularly in such cases where books are scarce or costly. We, therefore, stress the integrity in these Nooks. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, or all costs you\'ve incurred will be refunded -- no questions asked -- providing the book is returned to us in the same condition within two weeks.

Shipping:
Though most booksellers are quite professional and know how to properly handle their wares, I\'ve noticed (being a book-buyer, too) that many online shops can be slipshod and amateurish in their shipping practices. This being so, we\'d like to assure you: when you buy from us the item will be nicely and securely presented. It will be gift-wrapped, sealed in a plastic bag to protect it against water damage, encased in bubble wrap and/or foam \'peanuts\' and boxed. We ship books out the way we like to receive them. Except, perhaps, in the rare occasion of an inexpensive reading copy, I\'d not think of consigning a book from these Nooks to the hard knocks of the postal system in a simple bubble-mailer. You won\'t get that shoddy handling here.

Insurance:
It is our policy to pay the insurance for any purchase over $200.00. Should you like to provide your own insurance for less of a sum, the cost is $1.30 for $50.00 of coverage, $2.20 for $100.00, and $3.20 for up to $200.00 of coverage. Insurance, in such cases, is suggested (simply state your preference in the comments segment during checkout) as we cannot be responsible for books that are lost in transit.
