   1881 THE FIVE CENT WIDE AWAKE LIBRARY #466

  THE JAMES BOYS AND THE KU KLUX by   D W STEVENS

 The use of the modern "KU KLUX KLAN" is based on the descriptions in the story which is certainly fictional but uses many historical comments in the story line. The descriptions of the members could only lead to believing that they are speaking of the Klan and thinly vail that fact, perhaps there was concern for retribution. One can only ponder. This book is in good condition with small tears, edge wear, some age spotting and cover. Tape on spine does not seem to indicate spine split as indicated in the video. Our dealer stamp is stamped on an inside page. Please look closely at the video as it is the best indication of condition any questions, please ask before bidding. 

   We have many other dime novels we have or will be listing if you have any questions just e-mail me through EBAY. This is one of many "Beadle's Dime Library, Nick Carter Library, Old/Young Sleuth Library, Frank Reade Library and Weekly, New York Weekly, Captain Zero, Captain Satan, Frank Tousey and Street and Smith Weeklys as well as The Shadow Magazines" of several thousand dime novels we will be placing on EBAY over the next several years. Any questions or special requests please email us. We always try to list any items that are requested as quickly if we can. We also sell for many collectors that have interesting and varied amounts of items, many not seen at auction for years. Ask us if you are looking for that unusual or rare item and we may know where it is being offered. 

   This book is one of a large collection we are placing on our Ebay store of rarely available items and books. The book is one of the many rarely seen items that we will be offering over the next few months from a collector's estate sale. Once these are gone how long before you will see them come up again. Once a collector buys them, they go right back into a vault somewhere.

   We always take into consideration a customer's history of buying from us when addressing "BEST OFFER" option. We will respond to you within the allotted time but if it has just been listed, we will give it the full-time period to allow others to make similar offers or purchase. We list many, many items that may be "One of a kind" or simply "One of a kind on the market". These items usually are placed in collections which are not seen again on the market until once again sold by collectors. If you collect, you realize that is a once in a lifetime occurrence for collectors.....       BOX # 149
