Books with author G. B. Stern

The decorative dust jacket on this book is truly magnificent, gold and red with a weeinie dog up top and it adds much to this vintage 1945 hardcover. (Don' t buy this one without the jacket) The dust jacket is in mylar but has some fraying along the edges that happened before the mylar. The mylar has kept it very bright and lovely. Book is clean and bright inside, VG+.

Excerpt from The China ShopI had stayed in the room with Felicity when Larry Munro died, because I wanted to make quite sure that I was not being humbugged again: I had twice seen him die upon the stage, and each time I believed in it with quiet satisfaction, until the shock of his subse quent entrance, splendid as ever, into Felicity's drawing-room.
