First English Edition, Advance Review Copy in original illustrated wrappers. E. Welch Ridout cover art. Extremely rare Hubin listed mystery title to be found in original advance state wrappers, with remnants of 7/6 price sticker at spine, a price reserved for hardcover editions published by Stanley Paul. Interesting copyright statement "Copyright in the United States of America by The Macaulay Company, New York, 1922." The first American Edition is believed to be published by Moffat, Yard and Co. and not Macaulay who apparently owned the rights. The jacket press from that Moffat edition states the following about his title: "Here is the first book of fiction that embraces one of sciences greatest achievements. Falconer is called upon by Scotland Yard to aid in the detection of a group of criminals who have turned the uses of radio into lawless channels. Acknowledged as the greatest radio expert of his day, Falconer traps them in his own radio net and brings them to belated justice... Truly the guilty secrets of many men and women have been detected by means of wireless, that science which daily reveals its further wonders to those persevering experimenters who seek so patiently to penetrate its mysteries." Very Good plus, some modest shelf wear, minor loss at spine ends, few pages lightly bumped at fore-edge. Item #17728

First Edition. Paul Bartlett Taylor dustjacket art. Humorous novel with possible gay content, the jacket copy stating that one of the sons, Stephen, "preferred the society of his friend Wilfred". "Here's the synopsis of the book in a larger context: The story of what Major Gander's legacy did to Major Gander's descendants. After various bequests were prepared for, there remained 70,000 pounds residuum. This sum, he provided, should devolve upon whichever of his survivors should, five years after the date of his will, be the parent of the most children. He believed in procreation, and especially he wished the Gander strain continued. It seemed a good one to him. But the idea of a progeny race did not appeal to the descendants. Hilary was a little old, and she, seemed out of it. Stephen much preferred the society of his good friend Wilfred to marriage. One boy was far away—in America or Australia or somewhere else in accessible. Katherine's husband was on his way home from India; she met him in Paris And Daisy was a rather spinsterish woman who kept her husband from liquor when she could and was the mother of a nine-year-old child and had a passion of flowers, the names of which she could not recall. Besides which there was the family's female golfer who couldn't imagine children, because she would have to give up at least four months play for each of them. The possibilities are endless."
