*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we’ve reached Dr Syn by Russell Thorndike in our Crime, Spies & Sleaze category. Thorndike wrote seven adventures of this swashbuckling smuggler and pirate, known as the ‘Scarecrow of Romney Marsh’, who operated from the town of Dymchurch. Dr Syn: A Tale of the Romney Marsh was the first in the series (published in 1915) and we have an early edition in hardcover published in 1933 available here, one of the oldest books in our inventory. Book and DJ in remarkable state of preservation; just small sticker residue on back of DJ.
