The Dark Power
London: Geoffrey Bles, 1925. Philip Simmonds. 1st Edition. Hardcover. First edition of this Hubin listed work from Vance, the creator of the popular character, "The Lone Wolf." Published in the U.K by Bles in 1925, Hubin lists the American edition/title as "unknown." Apparently a mystery novel with occult themes, worldcat locates just 5 copies. Very good in publisher's green boards which show little wear in quite scarce jacket with striking illustration by Philip Simmonds, of a man walking and holding his hat down through a lightning storm against a barren landscape. Some wear, wrinkling to upper edge of rear panel, light chipping to extremities, spine darkened, else complete and nicely preserved. Very Good / Very Good. Item #2999
