Author: SHIEL, MP.
Title: The Rajah's Sapphire.
Description: London, Ward Lock 1896. Small octavo publisher's gilt decorated green cloth (spine faded); two plates. A rather good copy. ¶ First edition and first issue. Shiel's second book, part of the Nautilus Series, one of those well meant but ephemeral nineties series. The green cloth hates light and hates handling. This is among the best copies I've seen of any of the titles in the series. A cursed jewel thriller. Myself, I like cursed violins but each to his taste and Shiel cursed enough things to keep us all happy.
