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!

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

Russian Science Fiction – Destination: Amaltheia (and Others)

We love this soft cover collection of early Russian Science Fiction. Translated by Leonid Kolesnikov and published by the Foreign Languages Publishing House Moscow in 1960.

Contains – The Astronaut by Valentina Zhuravlyova; Over the Abyss by Alexander Belayev; The Maxwell Equations by Anatoly Duieprov; The Valley of the Four Crosses by Igor Zabelin; The Golub-Yavan by Kirill Stanyukovich; Flying Flowers by Mikhail Vasilyev and Destination Amaltheia by Arkady and Boris Strugatisky.

Travels with My Aunt – Graham Greene – First American Edition 1970

Published by Greene’s American publishers Viking in 1970. A pretty good copy.

Surely Graham Greene’s funniest book – as with many of his the basis of a movie success. Parts of this appeared in Playboy!?
