I have spent more than twenty years buying every Saint book I have been able
to find, and I now have a large collection of duplicates which I am offering for sale.
Most of Leslie Charteris' books are out of print,
and therefore very hard to find. I have been getting numerous inquiries
on where to find Saint books. If you are interested in a series of books, or have a large want list, please
let me know. I would be happy to check the books I have in storage, and put together a
custom lot to match your personal needs.
Please e-mail me at "saint" at this domain (saint.org) with any purchase inquiries:
Lot #50: Complete Set of The Saint Mystery Library.
This series of 14 American paperbacks makes up the entire collection of "The
Saint Mystery Library", as edited and introduced by Leslie Charteris.
Numbered 118 through 131, this is quite a difficult set
to put together, as some of the titles are extemely scarce. Authors in this collection include
Rufus King, Craig Rice, Fredric Brown, Lawrence G. Blochman, Harlan Ellison, Wenzell Brown,
Cornell Woolrich, and more. See the essay on The Saint Mystery Library
for additional information. Price: US$325.00 plus shipping.
Lot #49: Complete Set of The Saint's Choice digests.
Not to be confused with the British book of the same name, these are a true collector's item.
This complete collection of the seven The Saint's Choice mystery digests published by
Saint Enterprises, Inc. in 1945 and 1946 is very hard to put together. Predating The Saint Detective Magazine,
these digests feature a story by Leslie Charteris, along with other stories by other writers. The Saint's Choice
of True Crime features a non-Saint story not found in any other publication.
Titles include The Saint's Choice of British Detectives, The Saint's Choice of American Detectives,
The Saint's Choice of True Crime, The Saint's Choice of Humorous Crime, The Saint's Choice of Impossible Crime,
The Saint's Choice of Hollywood Crime, and The Saint's Choice of Radio Thrillers.
Price: US$245.00 plus shipping.
Lot #45: Six matching P.F. Collier hardcover editions. These
books come in a solid high-gloss green binding suitable for the finest library.
They were printed in the US around 1942, and titles include The Saint
Goes On, The Happy Highwayman, Saint Overboard, The Saint in New York, Prelude
for War, and Thieves' Picnic. Price: US$90.00 plus shipping.
Lot #44: 50 Collectible Paperbacks.
This lot contains 50 different small-sized US paperbacks from Avon and PocketBook.
The early Avon and PocketBook paperbacks from the 1940's and 1950's are quite hard to find in quality condition,
and highly sought-after by collectors.
These 50 titles are all in very nice shape and make up almost a complete collection of these
rare American paperbacks. Titles are too numerous to list at this time--this is a great shelf of Saints!
Price: US$690.00 plus shipping.

This series of 14 American paperbacks makes up a rare complete collection of "The

are from 1962. NOTE: all of the issues in this lot duplicate issues in lot #31.
