1459 CHARLIE CHAN SOLVES A NEW MYSTERY Better Little Book®; 1940. Hard cover. Standard size: 3 5/8" x 4 1/2" x 1 1/2"; 432 pages. Author: Unknown—adapted from the work of Earl Derr Biggers. Artist: Alfred Andriola. COLLECTOR'S NOTE: Cover title is different than title page (Inspector Charlie Chan Solves A New Mystery). -- /graphic-sounds/whitman-1932-1949.html PLEASE NOTE: you are viewing high-contrast scans/images and even minor flaws will appear pronounced and unsightly. Also, the scanner shading/tinting may be off-kilter, so please make allowances for that. If you like the image, you'll like the BLB even better when it arrives! Expect the book(s) to look newer and fresher than depicted in this poor scanner image-- .................................. which in all likelihood is more faded in appearance. FN/VF (see pic above). All pages are complete and supple (not brittle unless noted otherwise) and range between white to light tan. T may be a name written inside the cover which we might miss in listing. If so, it may be returned but it is not considered a grade-lowering defect. ESTIMATED VALUE: 90 PLEASE NOTE: the book(s) above was stored inside a protective acrylic wrapper for years. Unfortunately, if you're seeing bent corners or tops/bottoms--it's a consequence of the wrapper tightening due to temperature changes, etc.. A lot of this storage bending can be undetectably reversed with careful dampening with white vinegar or lemon juice and gentle reshaping.
