William Le Queux - Treasure of Israel - Eveleigh Nash, 1910, First Edition.

London, Eveleigh Nash, 1910. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. "Archaeological bibliomystery which concerns an ancient manuscript and the Ark of the Covenant and other ancient Hebrew relics; something of an antecedent of the Steven Spielberg film "Raiders of the Lost Ark", but without the fantastic conclusion, although the fulfilment of a curse probably defines the novel as fantasy, just about." [Locke, Spectrum III:51]. A few tears to the jacket, some bumping to the spine tips, a little foxing and some dustiness to the top edge. [12517, Hyraxia Books].
