Parker, Gay: Mr Perkins of New Jersey or, The Stolen Bonds. , London: no date (1888-1890)

157 pp. in half cloth and marbled paper boards. No title page is present but otherwise complete. Printed in double columns. Parker, a pseudynom for Miss M.P. Green, was an American writer about whom we have no details, other than a further novel is listed by her. Copac show this edition to have been published by George Routledge in 1888 and 1890, but more research would be useful. It is bound in a hardback format similar to another in our stock, The Pearl of Levonby by Malen, issued by John Dicks, Office of "Bow Bells" 313 Strand in 1875. He was a publisher of popular fiction, often Romantic. We assume it may have been issued in paper wraps which were discarded along with the title page when rebound in this format. Trans Atlantic printing piracy was fairly common at this time. A scarce title. (Book ref. 12832)  £75.00
