FRAUDULENT CONVERSION. A Romance of the Gold Standard.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original red cloth with black titles to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding firm with a little bumping to the spine tips, the cloth bright and fresh. The contents with a little spotting are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed and nicked pictorial dustwrapper that has small chips at the spine tips and fold corners, and a small oval 2/6 price label over the 7/6 net printed to the spine. Scarce.

Science-fantasy: A spell, provided by a being from another dimension, enables a professor to conjure up as many gold sovereigns as he desires. (Locke; A Spectrum of Fantasy; The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction)
