  • Moderate condition, ex-library so there are stamps and labels. However it’s about 120 years old and a first edition. There was one for sale last year, now there are none for sale anywhere in the world, AFAIK. It was the first book of its genre and is recognised as influencing the later masters. Think Poe influencing Conan Doyle. I’m reluctant to mention the details because I don’t want it showing up in a search. Sorry to be so cagey! I’d be annoyed by this post myself if I read it.

    I do know several volatile people who consider it normal to ‘blow off steam’ by having a raging argument every now and then. It may be helpful to them but it’s childish and unfair to those around them.
