Decorative Cloth. Condition: Good +. No Jacket. First Edition. Tom Swift and His Great Searchlight(or, On the Border for Uncle Sam) by Victor Appleton was published by Grosset & Dunlap, Publishers, in 1912. Not an ex-library copy, this 5" X 7 3/8", 100-year-old, 214-page, believed-to-be First Edition offering is in G+ condition. Some webbing is seen between pages 44-45 and 92-93, there is modest yellowing of endpapers front and back as well as text's pages, a previous owner has written "W. Linn", in black ink, on middle-third portion of front loose end page, and there is quite random, light foxing on a not very large number of pages. I checked "Illustrated", but there is but one, in all, that being the volume's black and white Frontispiece, by Artist Unknown, done in the melodramatic, pot-boiler style of the early part of the last century. This is, I believe, the fifteenth installment in Appleton's Tom Swift series, and is, as usual, initially set in suburban Shopton, New York. In the beginning, Tom has it brought to his attention by his closest chum, Ned Newton, that one Andy Foger, an old, frequent nemesis of Tom's who had moved to another town, was seen on the front lawn of his former home in Shopton. Andy has shown a bad habit of trying, on several occasions in the past, to sneak into the boy inventor's shop to get secrets about his various inventions. Indeed, in this story, Tom has just completed work, successfully, on a noiseless airship motor, but has not yet had the chance to patent it completely. Too, Ned and Tom read in the newspaper of a ring of smugglers, based in Canada, who are making forays into New York state, and who quite possibly may have contacts or accomplices right there in Shopton! Gee, do you think that Andy might be in league with the smugglers? Find out, if you so choose, Reader. If you're still reading, you're probably a Tom Swift devotee, or might wish to be. Thank you!!
