Peter Beilenson founded Peter Pauper Press in his parents' basement in 1928. Originally focused on reprinting classic literature in the public domain, the press would gradually shift towards fine press works and, later, gift books. During its heyday, Peter Pauper was co-run with Beilenson's wife, Edna, who also served as the press's typesetter and binder. (See the Peter Pauper Press in Blumenthal's The Printed Book in America.)

New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1930. Hardcover. Good. Hardcover. 7 1/2" X 5 1/4". 334pp. Wear to orange cloth over boards with rubbing, toning, and bumps to covers, corners, and edges. Lean to spine. Rubbing and dust-spotting to edges of text block. Faint toning and penciled notation to front free endpaper. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. Photoplay Edition that features images from the film. An attractive vintage hardcover of this Charlie Chan mystery by Earl Derr Biggers. The character of Charlie Chan was created by Earl Derr Biggers as a counter to the stereotype of "Yellow Peril," and as an alternative to the common practice of media to portray Asian characters as stoic, menacing villains. Chan was characterized as heroic, intelligent, handsome, and honorable, and was received well by the general public. His stories would go on to be featured in numerous movies, as well as radio and television adaptations. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In this 5th installment of the classic series of mysteries featuring Charlie Chan of the Honolulu Police, we meet Scotland Yard's Inspector Duff, first introduced in Behind That Curtain. Duff is pursuing a callous murderer on an around-the-world tour, and it is only when the ship is docked in Honolulu and Duff is gravely wounded, does Charlie Chan take on the case. This is decidedly unfortunate for the guilty party, because Chan has the culprit well in-hand before the ship makes its final stop.(Publisher).
