A unique chance to obtain almost the complete works of this Austrailian born author. Guy Newell Boothby, (October 13, 1867 - February 26, 1905), was an Australian writer, born in Adelaide. He worked as secretary to the mayor of Adelaide before moving to the United Kingdom in 1894. He wrote over 50 books over the course of a decade, before dying of pneumonia in Bournemouth. Some of Boothby's earlier works relate to stories of Australian life, but later he turned to genre fiction. He was once well known for his series of five novels about Doctor Nikola, an occultist anti-hero seeking immortality and world domination. Pharos, a tale of a stolen mummy, is perhaps his most fantastic adventure romance. Very Good/No Jacket, as Issued.

A BID FOR FORTUNE

New York City, D. Appleton And Company 1895, hb. Small 8vo, pp. 301.
¶ First published by Ward, Lock in London in the same year, this is the first American edition, and a title (No. 179) in "Appleton's Town and Country Library." It marks the first appearance of Dr. Nikola, an occultist of super intelligence and devious ways. Boothby (1867-1905) was an Australian novelist. His early work was more in the field of music (he wrote two librettos for opera) until 1894 when his first book was published. Over the next ten years, he published over 50 adventure novels. Our copy is bound in 3/4 leather over marbled boards, with the spine elaborately decorated in gilt, and the top edge gilt - probably a presentation binding (no ads at end), as the usual binding for the first American edition of this title is light blue cloth. The leather is a bit scuffed, and the edges of the boards are rubbed. No former owner's markings. The contents are clean and tight. Overall, in good plus condition. No dust jacket.
