Charteris Presentation Editions For His Mother

Peter L. Stern & Co., Inc., a rare book dealer in Boston has a great number of amazing Leslie Charteris editions available for sale. The majority of them are fine presentation editions in special clamshell boxes that are inscribed by Leslie Charteris to his own mother. These are extremely rare, and quite exceptional items to have been made available. Most of them are editions of The Saint's early adventures, and there are a few non-Saint's as well.

Here's a sample:
Daredevil. London: Ward, Lock, 1929, 1929. First Edition. A few tiny cloth spots; very good to fine in a custom clamshell box; Kaye bookplate. Presentation copy; with an exceptional inscription from the author to his mother, "To Mother - with my love. An unlimited edition has been specially prepared for private circulation among the general public, of which a few will be numbered & signed by the Author. This is No: 1. Leslie Charteris. Second of January 1929."

The Holy Terror. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1932, 1932. First Edition. Cloth spotted and faded; very good in a custom clamshell box; Kaye bookplate. Presentation copy; inscribed by the author, "for Mother with love Leslie Charteris."

Once More The Saint. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1933, 1933. First Edition. Very good in a custom clamshell box; Kaye bookplate. Presentation copy; inscribed by the author, "for Mother with love Leslie."

The Last Hero. London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1930, 1930. First Edition. A few tiny cloth spots; very good to fine in a custom clamshell box; Kaye bookplate. Presentation copy; inscribed by the author, "for Mother (and it IS a good book). Leslie Charteris. 8.5.30."
