Author: CHAPMAN, Gordon
Title: Rex Cole, Junior and the Grinning Ghost
Description: New York, Barse & Co, 1931. Hardcover. Illustrations by John M. Foster. Small 8vo. Brown pebble-grain paper over boards with black lettering. 208pp, pp. 7-12. Frontispiece. Near fine. Small non-authorial gift inscription on front pastedown. A tight and handsome first edition of the second title in this 2-title-only juvenile series, both produced in 1931. The first title ("Rex Cole Jr. and the Crystal Clue") gives a 13-page excerpt from the second title at its conclusion and promises "Other titles in preparation," and here the second title gives a 6-page excerpt from "Rex Cole, Jr. and the Allenby Affair," but alas this projected third volume never came to pass. The true Barse first editions are rather scarce -- even the Grosset & Dunlap reprints are a bit uncommon. HUDSON 179. .
