Burt Printing - (1st) Red Kerry Mystery # 1 - Setting is London High Quality Digitally Remastered Laser Reproductionof Original Dustjacket We will be offering a selection of several digitally remastered dustjackets in our eBay listings !! Here is a nice opportunity to enjoy the original artwork while saving on the cost of an original dustjacket. See my listings for more. Several different classic PhotoPlay & mystery jackets available. All digitally remastered dustjackets are shipped in a removable, Brodart or Demco archival dustjacket protector, and are ready to place on your book. Important: The original A.L. Burt printings from the 1920s-30s measured 7 5/8" in height [as is this remastered dustjacket]. Due to their continued success, these books were reissued within a few years in two different sets and resized in distinct new bindings: (1) P.F. Collier Orient Editions, and (2) McKinlay, Stone & MacKenzie Masterpieces of Oriental Mystery. The Collier sets are almost identical in size. However, the McKinlay books are quite a bit shorter. Please double-check your book size 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. About Postage: Combined shipping: Dustjackets are shipped boxed & wrapped via USPS Ground Advantage [new version of First Class Parcel]. 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.

Have you ever imagined what it must be like to be a slave to Chandu -- the days of fierce craving, the ecstatic moment of fantastic dreams and exaltation and afterward the black despair which only more drugs can relieve? Sax Rohmer paints an unforgettable picture of this life in his story -- "Dope" which is based upon actual conditions as they existed in London. About Author: Sax Rohmer (1886-1959), born in Birmingham, England, is best remembered for his fascinating literary character – the evil Oriental mastermind Dr. Fu Manchu.
