Find the Woman TPB
Trade paperback. A madcap Arabian Nights fairy-tale of adventure, suspense, slapstick comedy, crime and sweet romance, 'Find the Woman' is one of the great Gelett Burgess’s most audacious and most entertaining novels. Opening with a scene of pulp melodrama, Burgess plunges his hero into wild, surrealistic turmoil. There are jewel thefts, beautiful mystery women, baggy-pants comedians, and tall tales unfolding to reveal taller tales.
What Burgess was thinking when he wrote 'Find the Woman' we will never know, but the modern reader will alternately gasp with amazement, tremble with excitement, and roar with laughter as a courageous — but confused — young man who may or may not be John Fenton pursues a lovely and enigmatic young woman who may or may not be Belle Charmion.

“This month — for the first time — Imagination publishes a serial in two parts. We believe the author, Fox B. Holden, has written as gripping and dramatic a science fiction novel as we’ve read in many years; it will quite likely be published in book form in the near future; thus we’ve taken a new step forward which we hope will meet with your approval. We would like to stress again that serials in Madge will really have to be outstanding....”

Automaton
Stapled trade paperback. First published in England in 1928 in the ‘To-Day and To-Morrow’ series, this brief treatise on automation gives us a glimpse into contemporary concepts of robotics and the possible applications of the then-current technology to modern civilization.
In retrospect, the proposals put forth may seem quaint; but, given the post-WWI climate in which it was written, the ideas offered, and the dreams of a world improved by robotic servants, convey a sense of positive hope in the light of growing technological advance during the 1920’s.

Cemetery First Stop! TPB
Trade paperback. When Lefty Vincent shot up the Conway Bank at San Francisco and scuttled across five States to his hide-out, he didn’t know that a life and death struggle had started between himself and Mick Cardby. Nor did Mick, sitting in his office six thousand miles away. Curiously enough Clare Furness, playing tennis in Boston when the lid blew off in San Francisco had never heard of either of them. But it wasn’t long before the three lives were intermixed in a blaze of feverish action. From the first word to the grandstand finish there is no pause, no release of tension as thrill crashes upon thrill. Another great Mick Cardby case from the pen of David Hume.
