"Outside of a dog, man's best friend is a book. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."
— Groucho Marx
The Yellow Claw.
Lippincott's Magazine. 1915. First appearance in print, bound from the parts. 8vo. Attractively bound in recent half green morocco leather with gilt titles to spine, black title label. Green cloth boards and plain endpapers. Near fine. Bound from the parts extracted from the 1915 issues of Lippincott's Magazine predating the first US edition in book form, the first appearance of one of Mr. Rohmer's more melodramatic stories, which for the man who created Fu-Manchu, master of the Si-Fan, is saying something. As far as he was concerned if it didn't have an opium den in there somewhere it just wasn't a story. Item #25893
