Description:
308 deckle-edged pages. Book club edition. Book is in great condition; the dust jacket just has a few small tears. A man finds that with the use of certain hallucinogenic drugs, he is able to travel between his time and the 14th century. Described on the flyleaf as an ancient/modern Gothic tale. Some aspects of the story make me wonder if it wasn't a bit influential in the composition of Stephen King's and Peter Straub's The Talisman. (I'm just speculating, you'll have to ask them.)

A small amount of wear. The covers have a few chips along the edges, the spine is skewed a little, with 3-4 creases. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked. Originally published in 1943. A rather scarce book in better than average condition. Really doesn't look 50 years old.

Description:
First edition, second printing. A little shelf wear on the book, the dust jacket has avoided even that, encased in a clear plastic book cover. The classic evil twin story, reimaged in Straub's own way. This book will ship at over two pounds. Rather than ask for a shipping adjustment at the time of purchase, I have opted to add a small shipping surcharge to the list price.
