Arsène Lupin, Super-Sleuth

New York: The Macaulay Company. Very Good. (c.1927). First American Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket, but encased in a nice-looking facsimile reproduction of the original first edition jacket; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [light wear to extremities, upper corners bumped, slight fading to spine cloth; ex-Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Script Department copy, with related stamping and remnants of MGM label on front endpaper]. The 15th Arsène Lupin book, featuring the gentleman thief and master of disguise, here depicted under one of his various pseudonyms, "Ralph de Limézy." (The book was originally published in France in 1927 as "La Demoiselle (truncated) aux yeux verts.") It's interesting to note that this book once belonged to the M-G-M Script Department; M-G-M did make a couple of Arsène Lupin movies (in 1932 and 1938), but neither one seems to have been directly based on any of the Leblanc books. NOTE again that this book bears a FACSIMILE dust jacket, which has not been factored in to our pricing. (It's also interesting, at least to me, that the jacket designer wasn't paying attention to which direction the accent mark in Arsène should be pointing.) . (Inventory #: 29602)
