The publisher's original red cloth binding remains structurally sound and tight, presenting well on the shelf with reasonably bright black titling. There is moderate bumping to the corners and standard rubbing to the spine extremities, alongside a few minor, faint spots of discolouration to the rear board. The text block is square, though the page edges exhibit noticeable foxing and dust-toning typical of the paper stock from this era. Internally, the pages are largely clean, with only minor scattered foxing primarily confined to the preliminary leaves, and the book is completely free from previous owner inscriptions or significant wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is an early Sampson Low reprint of Farnol's swashbuckling classic, issued shortly after the true first edition of 1921. The dating is confirmed by the title page's list of the author's previous works, which culminates with \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"244\"\u003eSir John Dering\u003c\/i\u003e (first published in 1923), indicating this impression was likely struck circa 1924. It was printed in Great Britain by Purnell and Sons in Somerset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eAs is typical for popular adventure fiction of the 1920s, the fragile original dust jacket has not been retained. However, the red cloth boards remain a classic example of interwar trade binding. Early reprints in this condition are common on the market and serve as excellent, robust reading copies for enthusiasts of Golden Age historical romances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eA direct sequel to \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"26\"\u003eBlack Bartlemy's Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"53\"\u003eMartin Conisby's Vengeance\u003c\/i\u003e continues the thrilling saga of a man deeply scarred by his past and driven by a singular, consuming desire for retribution. Set against the dangerous backdrop of the Spanish Main, the narrative follows Lord Martin Conisby as he navigates a treacherous world of bloodthirsty pirates, the horrors of the Inquisition, and high-seas adventure. As Martin closes in on his sworn enemy, Sir Richard Brandon, he is forced to confront the limits of his own morality and the enduring power of love, particularly his complicated bond with the fierce and unforgettable Lady Joan. Farnol delivers a masterclass in swashbuckling romance, replete with vivid historical detail and breathless action.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55815711719763,"sku":"6918","price":17.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261105_101922.jpg?v=1794310212","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/martin-conisbys-vengeance-jeffery-farnol","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
