Distinguished primarily by the survival of its original dust jacket. The binding remains tight and square, though the text block exhibits heavy, uniform age-toning and some localised foxing to the page edges, which is entirely typical for the acidic paper stock utilised in these 'cheap form' editions. The original dust jacket is remarkably well-preserved for its age; while there is some minor rubbing to the extremities, light chipping at the spine ends, and slight fading to the spine panel, the front cover illustration remains striking and vivid. It is completely unclipped, retaining the '3\/- NET' price on the spine, and is now protected in a removable mylar sleeve. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"910\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is the twelfth edition of E. Phillips Oppenheim’s thrilling espionage novel, issued in the publisher's popular \"Crown 8vo, Cheap Form\" series. First published in 1915, this later printing stands out primarily due to its survival with the original pictorial dust jacket, which is seldom found intact today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe jacket features evocative, period-style cover art that captures the diplomatic intrigue and high-stakes drama of the Monte Carlo setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eWhile late printings of Oppenheim's works are generally common, retaining an original pre-war dust jacket in such highly presentable condition significantly elevates the desirability of this copy. It serves as a fine, scarce example of interwar publishing aesthetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eIn \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"420\"\u003eMr. Grex of Monte Carlo\u003c\/i\u003e, E.
