A remarkably firm, tight copy in the original publisher's brown cloth. The binding remains robust and entirely square, with sharp corners that show only a trace of faint rubbing to the extremities. The spine is secure, and its gilt lettering remains notably bright and unoxidised, though the cloth exhibits some gentle, uniform sun-fading typical of the era. The text block is pleasingly crisp; the pages are bright, entirely free of foxing, and the original untrimmed edges display only light, natural age-toning. Internally, the hinges are perfectly sound, making this an exceptionally well-preserved and handsome survivor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a scarce first edition, first printing of the title, published in 1934 by Eneas Mackay. The author, writing under the pseudonym \"Streamline,\" was purportedly a well-known aviator who served with the Royal Naval Air Service and the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eCopies of this title are uncommonly seen on the open market, particularly in such unblemished condition without the aid of a dust jacket. It represents an unusual and highly specific entry into early twentieth-century occult and paranormal literature, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors of Scottish printing, early aviation pseudonyms, and esoteric short fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eA rare and intriguing collection of thirteen tales centered on the phenomenon of second-sight. Rooted in genuine accounts of premonitions, warnings, and infallible foresight gathered over thirty-five years, the author explores the profound and often inexplicable reality of events foretold. Rather than simple ghost stories, these are sobering, purportedly true narratives detailing tragic or unpleasant premonitions where the seer was left entirely powerless to alter the impending fate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55391955681619,"sku":"6189","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261012_145257.jpg?v=1792070479","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/foretold-stories-of-modern-second-sight-streamline-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
