Here is a nice opportunity to enjoy the original artwork while saving on the cost of an original dustjacket. See my listings for more. Several different classic PhotoPlay & mystery jackets available. Collector's Tip: As was commonly done, The Wolf Man was reprinted by A. L. Burt within a year of the first edition. Both the Clode U.S. 1st edition and Burt reprint edition were bound in red cloth and used the same jacket illustration and matching size. All digitally remastered dustjackets are shipped in a removable, Brodart or Demco archival dustjacket protector, and are ready to place on your book. Due to the scarcity of this dustjacket, I have added an embossed digital watermark to these images to avoid unauthorized duplication. The embossed watermark will NOT appear over the artwork on the front panel. The counter-stamps identifying this as a reproduction WILL appear discretely on the flaps only. About Jackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine which far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results. About Postage: Combined shipping: Dustjackets are shipped boxed & wrapped via USPS Ground Advantage [new version of First Class Parcel]. Shipping for 1 or 2 remastered dustjackets is $4.00. 3 or 4 dustjackets ship for an additional 50c, $4.50 5 or 6 dustjackets ship for an additional 50c, $5.00 More than 6 dustjackets, please request shipping quote.

About Title: A strange tale of a convict on the run with a child, convinced that he is pursued by a were-wolf, translated from the French novel, Le Loup Garou. From the very beginning of this romance -- the story of an escaped convict's struggle with Fate -- there is a breathless suspense that enthralls the reader, and leads him to follow with ever mounting interest the unravelling of a really unusual plot. This interest never sags, for the situation is too desperate, the action too thrilling to permit any relaxation. Given the colorful atmosphere of the Paris underworld -- fascinating characters -- poignant treatment in a manner deliciously Continental -- and never-ceasing thrills -- the reader has a tale that will be read and re-read.
