HAMILTON, DONALD

The Removers

New York: Fawcett Gold Medal, 1961. Early printing; 1st Printing. Paperback. Mass Market PB. This is a mass market paperback book. The book is in Very Good+ condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in mostly clean, bright condition. There is a very slight slant to the spine from being read. The bottom spine end of the book cover has a tiny nick. The front cover has three tiny spots of ground-in dirt. The text pages are clean and bright. "In the first book in the series, Death of a Citizen, which takes place in the summer of 1958, 13 years after the end of the war, Helm is frequently referred to by other characters as being of incipient middle age and apparently soft and out of shape, although no specific age for him is given. In the next story, which apparently takes place in the summer of 1959, a hostile agent from a rival American spy organization taunts Helm as a shopworn 36-year-old and clearly over the hill as a physical specimen. Later in the book, Helm himself says that he is 36 years old. Writer Hayford Peirce examined the issue of Helm's age, and found this figure to be improbably young given the information about Helm's background in Death of a Citizen. Peirce postulated that Helm was actually several years older than the 36 years mentioned in The Wrecking Crew and that he was probably born around 1918. By The Betrayers, the tenth book, the age issue vanishes completely. " (from Wikipedia). Very Good+ .

SALGARI, EMILIO

La Scotennatrice (the Scout / Scoutman)

Firenze, Italy: R. Bemporad & Figlio, 1921. Trade Edition. Paperback. Illustrated by G. Amato. (The text is entirely in ITALIAN) This is a large trade sized paperback magazine. The book is in Very Good condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book is in generally clean bright condition. There are small nicks and chips to the cover edges. The text pages are clean and bright. Illustrated throughout with monochrome illustrations by A. Della Valle. "Salgari's work was imitated in one form or another by many who came after him. A large part of the Italian adventure literature is a continuation of Salgari's work. Many late 19th century writers such as Luigi Motta and Emilio Fancelli wrote further Sandokan adventures imitating Salgari's style: fast-paced, filled with great battles, blood, violence and punctuated with humour. The style soon spread to movies and television. One example is the work of the director Sergio Leone, whose outlaw heroes in his Spaghetti Westerns were inspired by Salgari's piratical adventurers. More than 50 film adaptations have been made of Salgari's novels, and many more were inspired by his work (corsair stories, jungle adventure stories, and swashbuckling B movies, such as Morgan, the Pirate, starring Steve Reeves). Federico Fellini loved Salgari's books. Pietro Mascagni had over 50 Salgari titles in his library. Umberto Eco read Salgari's works as a child.". Very Good .

He wrote four major series: The Pirates of Malaysia; The Black Corsair Saga; The Pirates of Bermuda; and a collection of adventures set in the Old West. Salgari’s heroes were mostly pirates, outlaws and barbarians, fighting against greed, abuse of power, and corruption.". Good+ .
