This sale is for a vintage
hardback FIRST EDITION entitled “The
Rising Storm,” by Dennis Wheatley,
with a COLOUR endpaper map
It was published by
Hutchinson & Co., Ltd., of London, and is the undated circa 1949 FIRST
EDITION.
A
historical/espionage novel featuring Roger Brook, a fictional secret agent and Napoleonic
Wars Era gallant, later identified as the Chevalier de Breuc, in a series
of twelve novels by Dennis Wheatley. The series, which covers events from
a dozen years before the French Revolution to the fall of Napoleon, is
historically accurate, written from the perspective of an aide-de-camp to Napoleon himself.
The
Rising Storm covers the period April 1789 - July 1790.
The book measures 8.1 inches
x 5.75 inches x 1.25 inches and has 432 pages.
The book is in good used
condition for its age, with wear/bumps and is a little grubby/faded to the
original cloth hardback cover, with a previous owner’s neat blind embossed
personal stamp at the front, foxing to the rims, and no ink or pencil markings
in the book. The binding is used but good with no loose or missing pages. There is no dust-jacket.
A wonderful vintage FIRST
EDITION.

Unwinsbooks have held down shipping prices
from 2013-2020 in spite of small increases in postage costs. However, Royal Mail Prices dramatically
changed on 1 July 2020, as a result of exceptional cost increases outside of their
control, so we are reluctantly having to pass on pricing increases for parcels
being sent overseas (primarily USA, New Zealand, Australia and the Rest of the
World).
These costs are a direct result of:
“Royal Mail, always aim to deliver the best
value international services. We fully recognise that these changes are
significant. This was a decision we reluctantly took but is necessary in view
of the increased costs borne by Royal Mail.”
If the Royal Mail reduce their charges in
the future (in particular what they term “Temporary Air Carrier Supplement
Pricing”) unwinsbooks will reduce the international costs accordingly.
Unwinsbooks always
obtain a proof of postage receipt from the Royal Mail. Packages over Royal Mail size rules may be
sent by courier (customer will be informed).
Goods will be WELL PACKAGED by Unwins Books
and dispatched once payment has cleared.
