May Preston Dust Jacket

BRIGGS, 1914 (1913 McClure Publications
THE VOLUME: The book covers and dust jackets of the Briggs edition and the early A. L. Burt reprint are virtually identical except for coloring. The reprint's book cover was green rather than blue (as the Briggs shown here.) The Briggs dust jacket was also a dark, bright blue, although all the May Preston graphics on the dust jackets were the same. Not so on the inside of the book. The Briggs had 11 May Preston illustratons while the A.L. Burt I've seen only had one.
THIS DUSTJACKET: A NEW FACSIMILE copy of the very scarce jacket with May Preston artwork, which sold with the reprint edition. It was made from a scan of an original in very good condition, printed on one sheet of acid-free paper by an archival inkjet printer (80 yr. inks), and preserved in archival plastic. It comes with a matching bookmark.
THE STORY: A young medical student, recovering from a serious illness, takes a menial job aboard a luxury yacht (traveling incognito) and finds the trip anything but restful–as one of his companions proves to be a murderer. But which one? I read this story myself and found it hard to put down.
All Dust Jackets may be purchased for $12.00, including a clear, protective dust jacket cover, and a matching bookmark. (Price is reduced to $10.00 when three or more djs are ordered.) Dust Jackets may be resized to fit any edition.
