Publication: London, Sampson Low.

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 308.

Condition Report: Good. The original red cloth boards remain structurally sound but present with slight bowing, accompanied by moderate rubbing, fading, and bumping to the spine ends and corners. The binding remains tight and secure, though the text block edges exhibit noticeable age-related toning and minor foxing. Internally, the pages are clean but uniformly tanned, typical for the paper stock of this post-war era, while the hinges are intact without any splitting or weakness.

Catalogue Note: This mid-century edition of Jeffery Farnol’s swashbuckling sequel was issued by Sampson Low from their 25 Gilbert Street address, placing its publication circa the late 1940s to early 1950s. Bound in the publisher's traditional red cloth with black stamped titling and an emblem to the front board, this unillustrated edition serves as a sturdy vintage reading copy.

Copies of this particular post-war reprint are relatively common on the secondary market. It represents an accessible avenue into Farnol's popular pirate romances without the premium commanded by true 1920s first editions.

Martin Conisby's Vengeance continues the gripping pirate saga begun in Black Bartlemy's Treasure. Left abandoned on a desolate island, the embittered Martin Conisby is consumed by a burning desire for revenge against his enemy, Sir Richard Brandon. Rescued by a passing ship, he plunges back into a treacherous world of piracy, high-seas battles, and captured galleons on the Spanish Main. However, amidst the bloodshed and shifting allegiances, Martin must confront not only his foes but also the limits of his own vengeance, ultimately discovering that redemption often lies in the unexpected power of mercy and love.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
