Original Description:
ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE THREE INVESTIGATORS #4 - THE MYSTERY OF THE GREEN GHOST, by Robert Arthur, interior illustrated by Harry Kane, cover illustrated by Robert Adragna, published by Random House, copyright 1965 (no internal book list so no rear way to date which printing or when this book was published), reference to Gibraltar Library Binding on rear cover, white endpapers, matte boards. *

     NOTE - THIS WAS ONE OF 8 THREE INVESTIGATOR HARDCOVERS, PRINTED IN... THE EARLY 1980S THAT CHANGED THE COVER ART TO THE ROBERT ADRAGNA COVER ART USED ON THE PAPERBACK EDITION, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE "ADRAGNA 8" - PUBLISHED DURING THE TIME PERIOD WHEN RANDOM HOUSE WAS ONLY PUBLISHING HARDCOVERS FOR LIBRARY USE ONLY, THE "ADRAGNA 8" ONLY EXIST IN THE "GLB" OR GIBRALTAR LIBRARY BINDING EDITION - INTENDED FOR LIBRARY USE (SO IT HAS STURDIER SEMI-GLOSSY BOARDS AND THE GLB LOGO ON REAR BOARD WITH NO LIST ON REAR BOARD).   THESE "ADRAGNA 8" BOOKS ARE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND THAN THE GLB HCS OF #29-#43.
    SHOP AND COMPARE - A NICE COPY OF THE ADRAGNA COVER FOR #4 GREEN GHOST JUST RECENTLY SOLD FOR $508 - SEE EBAY 283454617478    Book has no library stamps/markings/cardpockets/stickers to front endpaper, title page, copyright page, or outer page edges, small spots of surface tearing to rfe, just a couple of reased page corners (page block itself looks hardly read), no foxing/age darkening to outer page edges (slight dust soiling only), tiny bit of top right corner clipped (probably to remove a used bookstore price - clipping is too small to remove a name) on ffe, endpapers are otherwise clean and free from any discoloration/soiling or tape residue, no tearing or splitting of page block from internal hinges, stamp bleached from title page otherwise no former owner's markings or used bookseller stamps/stickers inside, no wear to board edges or to board corners, hint of wear to spine tips, small color tear at bottom right on cover, no color rubbing or dust soiling to boards/spine, no spine sun fading, no other color tear or color rubbing to front panel, no soiling or staining to boards, top right board corner bumped.
     Note: This book comes protected by a removable clear Brodart book cover (cover is not taped to book - it can be simply slipped off if desired) which prevents further rubbing/soiling damage to the outer boards.  Any white marks/glare lines in the photo are simply glare from the flatbed scanner reacting to this Brodart cover (and are not actual defects with the book).  
     Overall a VG+ book of a rare hardcover "Adragna 8" GLB printing Three Investigators book.  I have a number of other hardcover and paperback Three Investigator books up for auction on ebay - just click on the 'see other items' link to the right of the picture.      NOTE - MEDIA MAIL ROUTINELY TAKES 3-4 WEEKS (REGARDLESS OF WHAT EBAY MAY SAY - THEY DON'T CONTROL THE POST OFFICE).  For U.S. buyers, both priority mail (3-5 days) and media mail (3-4 weeks) shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice (or if the book is a paperback or small magazine both 1st class mail (5-7 days) and media mail shipping options will be listed in the ebay invoice) - SIMPLY CLICK ON THE BLUE 'OTHER SHIPPING OPTIONS' LINK IN THE INVOICE TO SEE BOTH SHIPPING OPTIONS/COST.

     DELIVERY CONFIRMATION IS NOT TRACKING (despite what ebay and paypal want to call it - again they don't control the U.S. post office).  Delivery confirmation is merely what it says it is - it confirms delivery to prevent fraudulent chargebacks of claimed unreceived items (which is why I don't charge for delivery confirmation in the shipping costs).  Also, since I print shipping labels from home (as opposed to purchasing shipping at the post office), the delivery confirmation number IS NOT SCANNED BY THE POST OFFICE AT THIS END.  Therefore, in most cases, the first time that the Post Office will show anything when you check the delivery confirmation number is when the package hits your local post office/sorting center (basically the day before its delivered to you).   Occasionally (about 25% of the time) a package will get scanned at the Federal Way, WA transfer station, but in the vast majority of the cases the delivery confirmation won't show anything until basically the day before you get the package.

     I  DO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS FOR MULTIPLE  ITEMS WON (if you would like estimates of what combined shipping costs might be for a certain group of auctions, please e-mail me before the auctions close but a very rough estimate is $.50-$1.00 per additional book for media mail, $1.00-$2.00 per additional book for priority mail, and $6.00-$7.00 per additional book for international mail). 

       As for returns -All items are used (not new) books and therefore are sold as-is, which is why I try to provide a fairly detailed description of the item itself (i.e. what it is and what it is not) as well its specific condition, noting any significant defects (for collectible items).  Book grades are provided in the posting, however book grading standards/categories very widely from seller to seller, so please do not rely solely on the grade that I have given a book or ebay's provided "condition" box description, without considering the specific condition/defects described for that particular book.  I do, on occasion, miss a significant defect in an item or simply make a cut/paste error in the description (i.e. an error in the description from using a prior posting as the "shell" for this book's description), and for collectible items, if that happens, on a case-by-case basis I do issue a full refund (including the cost of return shipping) depending upon the collectible significance of the undisclosed defect.
