THE DUSTJACKET:
A NEW FACSIMILE copy
of the scarce Harrison Fisher jacket, which sold with this
edition. The jacket was made from a scan of an original in
very good condition, printed on one sheet of acid-free paper by
an archival inkjet printer (80 yr. inks), and preserved in
archival plastic. Each Dust Jacket comes with a matching
bookmark.
The Dust Jacket of the First Edition uses
the same spine design and identical front panel illustration.
The First Edition Book has a plain green cover and four
additional color illustrations by Howard Chandler Christy.
THE STORY:
“As the title
suggests, this is a story of action. It deals with an expedition
directed by the discovery of a document which tells of 2,000,000
francs which are buried in Corsica—the sum that was raised by
Napoleon's adherents to bring back the banished warrior from
Corsica. Then is the usual intrepid hero placed somewhat at a
disadvantage because his modest income pales into insignificance
before the millions of the girl he loves. However, there are
considerations besides money and the girl in question, likewise
her father, are reasonable enough to recognize them. A bold,
dashing story.”
