For lovers of great fiction, I am offering for sale a new International Collectors Library edition of Thomas B Costain's classic novel "The Silver Chalice". This popular historical fiction tells the story of Basil, a young silversmith, commissioned by the apostle Luke to fashion a holder for the cup Jesus used at the Last Supper - the Silver Chalice of the Holy Grail legend.

The beautiful hardcover faux leather book is embossed with 24K gold embellishments - gold lettering and decorated gilt bands on their spines. The front cover is decorated with an intricate gilt pattern. A satin ribbon bookmark is sewn in the pages. The spines are solid, the pages are clean. It was published in Garden City, New Jersey between 1940 and 1989, although I do not have the actual dates. The outside cover shows it age - with some wear along the edges and its gold lettering on the spine looks a little faded. Still a rare find!

Thanks for considering it.
