Books

First edition. 298 pages + 6 of ads and a 48 page Spring 1935 Publisher's Catalogue. Advance copy, with plain endpapers, into which Wheatley has tipped-in a small-scale version of the intended map endpapers, adding a note above: "Apologies for the fool binders who forgot to put the endpapers in the advance copies. D. W.". Additionally inscribed to the title page: "For my good friend S. R. Fuller With every good wish from Dennis Wheatley". The book is firmly bound in clean red cloth lettered in black, the extremities are lightly rubbed and bumped. The text block is age toned and foxed, with minor marks. The Abbey illustrated dust jacket is the original, it is lightly marked and rubbed, with a few nicks and short closed tears to the edges. Espionage thriller, in which international intrigue is intermingled with a sultry love affair in one of Wheatley's better stand alone novels. Uncommon in the dust jacket and this is a particularly well preserved example.

Wheatley delivers another gripping tale with 'The Eunuch of Stamboul' combining intrigue, espionage, and exotic locales, providing a window into the treacherous world of intelligence gathering.
