About This Item
Racine: Whitman Publishing, 1929. 8vo, pp. 254. Original pale blue boards, lettered in dark blue to front panel and spine. No rear endpaper, as issued. Illustrated dust jacket Small bookseller's label to rear pastedown resulting in corresponding offsetting to final page. More general offsetting to front free endpaper and final page, but a very good copy in a very good dust jacket with just a little light edgewear and a single small area of tape strengthening to front lower corner. First edition. A rare outing in hard covers for the prolific pulp writer Donald Bayne Hobart [1898-1970], who spent most of his career writing mystery stories and westerns for any magazine that would take them. The blurb promises us a cast list including Anatole Selden ('interesting and mysterious'), Ah Sing the Chinaman, Stambo the Negro, and Bennie the Duck ('a dangerous gangster').... Very scarce in the dust jacket (especially in such a nice example). HUBIN, p. 206
