Here's something great I got at a stoop sale on Sunday.

It's the Canadian printing and a bit beat up, but I've seen much worse. At first I was irked that sombody wrote on the cover but then I noticed that the somebody was Walter B. Gibson, creator and author of The Shadow!

"Walter B Gibson/Maxwell Grant/Best regards/from the author". (Maxwell Grant was Gibson's pen name.) I like how he uses Xes to make the W and M.

I compared the handwriting with a Gibson-inscribed book I have at home and it's the same.

I love stoop sales.
