All digitally remastered dustjackets are shipped in a removable, Brodart or Demco archival dustjacket protector, and are ready to place on your book. 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 Dustjackets: 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 First Class Parcel. First remastered dustjacket is $3.00. Each additional dustjacket is only 50c. Any extra postage charged at eBay checkout will be refunded. About Title: The Monday night audience at "Gunplay", that boisterous underworld hit of the season, sat excited and fascinated by the swift sequence of events on the stage. A slight commotion at the rear of the theatre went, unnoticed, not unnaturally, in the noise and darkness. Suddenly a sharp scream tore through the theatre. Without warning the lights of the theatre snapped on, revealing puzzled, fearful, already appreciative faces. Was this a new sensation of the play? People laughed. But smiles were soon wiped away. For inside the theatre a real tragedy, sinister, baffling, had occurred. Not only in plot but in character does this story offer something different. You will like the old snuff-taking Inspector Richard Qeen, a shrewd and human manhunter; you will more than like his son Ellery, a brilliant analyst, whose keen intellect dominates every situation. The essential clue was a missing silk top hat. On the surface it appears to be of minor significance, yet about this elusive thread the entire amazing tale revolves. About Author: Ellery Queen was a pseudonym of two cousins from Brooklyn, New York -- Daniel Nathan aka Frederic Dannay [1905-1982] and Emanuel Lepofsky aka Manfred Lee [1905-1971]. Together they wrote more than 30 novels and several short story collections.
