Frightened Amazon – Aaron Stein – First Edition 1950

Published by Doubleday as part of the “Crime Club” series of who could possibly have done it novels. Love them.

A 1905 First edition and a body is found on the isthmus of Tehuantepec. Beautiful giant Amazonian women and their small inferior mates more than feature.

Frightened you will be!

The Rueful Mating – G.B. Stern – First Edition 1932

A First Edition 1932 published by Knopf New York as one of their Borzoi Books.

A very good and lengthy romance by Miss Stern. The book is a tad foxed due to the uncut edges but the jacket is a collectable piece of deco imagery and makes up for it as well as the unique Borzoi end papers.

Ark of Venus – Clyde Clason – 1955

A first edition 1955 a bit marked in the endpapers and with the interesting institutional stamp mentioned below. A special Sc-Fi book sometimes referred to as for younger people but we think for the young at heart. Dust jacket to die for.

A really fun Sci-Fi from 1955 … let’s colonise Venus because the Moon and Mars did not come up to scratch. The Library stamps are an honour in this case as the history of the now truly gone “Sydney Futurian Society” after the sad passing of Graham Stone, a Sci-Fi Guru and much more in 2014.

Special Sci-Fi and rare in any condition

Appointment in Samarra – John O’Harra

John O’Harra’s first novel and a little naughty in parts … and sad at the end.

Lovely condition … just look at the crisp bright dust jacket over sixty years old!

Praised by Hemingway although O’Harra did not feel his influence. Great introduction reflecting on his life during his writing (interesting) and the real influences and how the title came about … Not a self analysis … seemingly
