Publication: London, Sampson Low, Marston & Co., Ltd., [c. 1924]

Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 312.

Condition Report: Good. 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.

Catalogue Note: 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 Sir John Dering (first published in 1923), indicating this impression was likely struck circa 1924. It was printed in Great Britain by Purnell and Sons in Somerset.

As 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.

A direct sequel to Black Bartlemy's Treasure, Martin Conisby's Vengeance 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.

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.
