Important: The original Grosset & Dunlap printings from the 1920s-30s measured 7 5/8" in height [as is this remastered dustjacket]. Due to their continued success, Grosset & Dunlap reissued the most popular titles under their Madison Square imprint. These 1940s reissues are typically taller at 8 1/4" in height. Please double-check your book before ordering! Due to the scarcity of this dustjacket, I have added an embossed digital watermark to these images to avoid unauthorized duplication. The embossed watermark will NOT appear over the artwork on the front panel. The counter-stamps identifying this as a reproduction WILL appear discretely on the flaps only. About Jackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine which far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results.

Shipping for 1 or 2 remastered dustjackets is $4.00. 3 or 4 dustjackets ship for an additional 50c, $4.50 5 or 6 dustjackets ship for an additional 50c, $5.00 More than 6 dustjackets, please request shipping quote.

Can you guess it? Everything is reasonable, natural, inevitable. Mr. Biggers is absolutely fair to his readers. All the clues are on the table. There is none up his sleeve. The possible murderer is to be found among a certain definitely limited number of people. You are kept in possession of all the facts as they become known to Charlie Chan. Can you be as astute as he is in putting these facts together? To be sure Charlie has his troubles. The skein is fearfully tangled. These pleasant people assembled at the home of a great movie star on Waikiki Beach seem caught in a hopeless web. Charlie Chan, now Inspector Chan, has never been so delightful, so humorous, so wise, so shrewd. His Chinese aphorisms hit the mark every time, and he is at home again in Honolulu, the crossroads of the Pacific, a colorful scene. About Series: Charlie Chan was featured as the famous detective in six novels by Earl Derr Biggers written between 1925 and 1932. He would be immortalized in 44 films on Hollywood's silver screen, most notably by Sidney Toler (1874-1947), Warner Oland (1880-1938) & Roland Winters (1904-89). About Author: Earl Derr Biggers (1884-1933), born in Warren, Ohio, was the creator of the famous Charlie Chan character. Charlie Chan was loosely based on the real life exploits of two Chinese detectives from Honolulu -- Chang Apana and Lee Fook.
