Appleton Tom (23 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Glossy frontispiece. "Quad penels" design to front board. This is the sixth Tom Swift adventure, originally copyright 1911, but this is a "Very-good" 1929 printing in a good dust jacket missing bottom inch-and-a-half of jacket spine. This book lists 31 Tom Swift titles (through "His Talking Pictures" (1928) to jacket front flap, but 32 through "His House on Wheels" (1929) to internal ads at rear. We count 11 "Radio Boys" through "Aiding the Snowbound" (1928) to jacket rear flap; jacket rear panel and internal ads both list seven Don Sturdys through "Among the Gorillas" (1927.) We'll presume a publication date of 1929. Unfortunately, it seems to have proven logistically impossible to haul along the always amusing "colored man" Eradicate Sampson and his recalcitrant mule to Earthquake Island, but Howard R. Garis (1873-1962) -- of Uncle Wiggily fame and here writing under the Appleton house name of the Stratemeyer Syndicate -- does manage to give him and the trusty "Boomerang" a brief introductory comic turn, delivering a telegram. Alas, no sign of Koku, the superstitious Argentine giant. 211 pp. Reduced from $37. Illustrations by H. Richard Boehm (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 384 Seiten Buch ist neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, ungelesen. -----Inhalt: Das ist Casey Jones, der muskelbepackten, revolverschnauzigen Privatdetektivin mit gefälschter Lizenz, noch nie passiert: Sie lässt sich von der unechten Blondine Tawny Bledsoe reinlegen, dann taucht auch noch Caseys nichtsnutziger Exmann Jeff auf und verbündet sich mit Tawny. Und die ist ein solches Miststück. Als Casey sich von dem Schock erholt hat, schlägt sie zurück, auch wenns wehtut. Denn Tawny muss gestoppt werden, sie geht buchstäblich über Leichen. Das allergrößte Miststück aber ist auch sie noch nicht. Katy Munger erzählt peu à peu Caseys Geschichte, die auch die Geschichte der Armen in den USA.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Verschmutzung / Wasserschaden; Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Gebrochener Buchrücken / Seiten oder Softcover umgeknickt. »Hessabi« ist ein persischer Roman auf deutschem Boden, die Coming-of-Age-Geschichte eines Persers, der im Deutschland der 60er-Jahre aufwächst. Jeans, Zigaretten, Politik, die erste große Liebe und immer wieder die Beatles prägen den Ton des Neuseeländers Tom Appleton, der dem jungen Protagonisten eine unverwechselbare Stimme zwischen Erwachsenwerden, Genie und Wahnsinn verleiht. Bonn, Coburg und Heidelberg sind die schulischen Stationen, die der jugendliche Adam Hessabi seinen schlechten Noten und dem großen Ehrgeiz seiner etwas verrückten Eltern zu verdanken hat Hessabi ist Perser und hat wohl gerade deshalb die Gabe, seinem Aufwachsen in Deutschland mit einer gewissen Distanz zu begegnen. Schonungslos erinnert er sich an sadistische Lehrer, Jugendriten und die kleinen verbotenen Fluchten in Musik und Mädchen. An seine Kindheit, die Adam offenbar in Persien verbracht hat, erinnert er sich nicht. Immer wieder stolpert er über seine Vergangenheit. Doch sosehr er das Rätsel um seine Herkunft lösen möchte, es wird ihm nicht gelingen. Im Gegenteil: Seine Familie verstrickt ihn zunehmend in ihre Bande, denn auf fast jede rebellische Pubertät folgt erst einmal die Kapitulation der vermeintlichen Vernunft. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 480 Seiten Buch ist neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, ungelesen. -----Inhalt: Gail Honeycutt sitzt in der Todeszelle und kann sich an gar nichts erinnern. Sie soll ihren Ehemann, einen Polizisten, erschossen haben. Das glaubt jedenfalls das Gericht, das sie verurteilt hat. Alle Gnadengesuche wurden abgelehnt. Jetzt kann nur noch Casey Jones helfen, die revolverschnäuzige Privatdetektivin ohne Lizenz. Kaum rollt sie den Fall wieder auf, gibt es weitere Tote. Und ihr Chef, der fette Bobby Dee, tyrannisiert derweil ein ganzes Krankenhaus. Katy Munger gelingt es, ein brisantes Thema zugleich sehr ernst und sehr witzig zu erzählen.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Third in the series, copyright 1910, and bearing a period gift inscription ("to Vera from Maura") dated Oct. 14th, 1910 in pencil to the blank FFE. The quad-design front board in black and orange is also in the first (1910) style -- the 106 little circles that form the oval around the title & author name are blank (same color as the tan boards), not "colored in." Only the five titles of the TS "starter set" showing to copyright page (though of course that persisted for years), but that page also states "Other volumes in preparation . . . Price, per volume, 40 cents postpaid." Glossy frontispiece by Mencl. No problems with hinges, book will close its own text block, so we'll grade it "very good" despite some ink doodles to FFE and the fact the boards themselves are moderately soiled and have suffered a few dings. NO dust jacket. 216 pp. followed by an ad for all five titles of the Tom Swift series (billed as "A NEW series, certain to attract attention") -- again at 40 Cents per Volume, and then three further pp. of ads, for two volumes of Howard Garis' "Dick Hamilton" series (through "Dick Hamilton's Cadet Days," 1910, but not "Dick Hamilton's Steam Yacht," 1911); for 14 Rover Boys (through "At College," 1910, but not "Down East," 1911), and for the three titles to date of Arthur Winfield's "Putnam Hall" series (through "Putnam Hall Champions," 1908, but not "Putnam Hall Rebellion," 1909. nor "Putnam Hall Encampment," 1910.) Howard R. Garis (1873-1962), of Uncle Wiggily fame and here writing under the Appleton house name of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, retains for comic relief here the unforgettable (and far from "politically correct") Eradicate Sampson and his stubborn mule, Boomerang. Reduced from $180. Illustrations by H. Rudolph Mencl (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. The 13th Tom Swift adventure, copyright 1912 though this printing is 1927, "very good" in a good dust jacket with small chips to corners and bottom of jacket spine (including some possible bug erosion, there.) "Quad panels" design to front board. Two previous owners names to Free Front Endpaper -- Eldon Davidson dated 1928 and Joshua Eldred dated April, 1981. This book lists 29 Tom Swift titles through "His Airline Express" (1926) to integral ad pages at rear, but 30 titles through "Circling the Globe" (1927) to jacket front flap. Jacket rear panel lists seven Don Sturdys through "Among the Gorillas" (1927.) Howard R. Garis (1873-1962), of Uncle Wiggily fame and here writing under the Appleton house name of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, retains for comic relief here the unforgettable Eradicate Sampson. And this is the adventure in which Tom and his pals, in the employ of a circus promoter, journey to the jungles of exotic Argentina to capture the giant Koku, whose immigration status must thus remain ambiguous, at best. (After being held captive in the village of the giants for some time, entertaining the natives with his magic tricks, Tom assembles his Wright flyer, the "Lark," and our heroes fly away to freedom.) Glossy frontispiece, no other internal illustrations. 218 pp., followed by 2 pp. publisher's ads. Complete list of G&D juvenile titles to jacket verso in green ink. Reduced from $72. Illustrations by H. Richard Boehm (illustrator).…
