  • Biggles Takes a Hand – Captain W.E. Johns – First Edition 1963

    Biggles Takes a Hand – Captain W.E. Johns – First Edition 1963

    A very good copy of this scarce first edition Biggles.

    Published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1963. Octavo, 160 pages with the odd illustration. Very good unclipped dust jacket the odd chip.

    Biggles receives a message … “If you will go to the Adlon Restaurant in Bank Street, Kensington, today, at a quarter to one precisely, and sit at table number two, you will be joined by someone who will give you information you should be glad to have – A Well-wisher”

    And, so it starts … great stuff and excellent use of commas.

  • The Lake Frome Monster – Arthur Upfield – First edition

    Bony sets about resolving the unusual murder disguised as workman tending the very long dog-proof fence. His life is in danger … but our Bony is no coward!

    Bony … out in the dirt solving the weirdest of murders.
