Sobre este artículo
Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1925. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good-. Octavo, 316pp. About very good in the publisher's light brown (almost orange) cloth, stamped in dark green, lacking the rare dust jacket. Mild foxing to the first and last few leaves (and sporadically throughout), spine panel gently faded, with some faint rubbing to extremities. Rear inner hinge adequately, if a bit inartfully, repaired with glue. A Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone; the book that introduced Charlie Chan to the world.
Sinopsis
The House Without a Key is a novel that was written in 1925 by Earl Derr Biggers. It is the first of the Charlie Chan mysteries written by Biggers. The novel, which takes place in 1920s Hawai'i, spends time acquainting the reader with the look and feel of the islands of that era from the standpoint of both white and non-white inhabitants, and describes social class structures and customs which have largely vanished in the 21st century.

As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
