Up for auction is the hardcover with dust jacket book vintage edition of LOST HILL by Dorothy Evelyn Smith. Copyright 1952. This is a special edition published exclusively for the members of the Peopeles Book Club ; printed in the U.S.A. 249 Pages. Both the book and the dustjacket are in fair to good condition (please see pictures and email if you have quesitons). There are no tears, rips or staining of the pages. The dustjacket has expected wear for its age. From the inside cover: With its beautiful moorland setting, its haunting atmosphere, and its suspensful drama of strong human emotions this modern romantic novel will remind many of favorite classics of Wuthering Heights and Return of the Native. yet this story of a young woman whose hungry heart led her to an unwise love has an added warmth and tenderness, a touching quality all its own. For reasons beyond her control, Jenny Rowland's marriage to the wealthy owner of Lost Hill had not been happy. But when she became a widow, young and beautiful, possessed of a fortune and of the freedom for which she had yarned. Jenny did not know which way to turn, how to seek the fulfillment of her lonely dreams. While she hesitated on the brink of decision, two very different men entered her life. One was Gethin, a bold, dark-haired stranger. The other was Tod Shaw, the friendly young squire of the neighboring estate. In its sensitive, compassionate portrayal of a lonely young woman's struggle toward the fulfillment of her needs and hopes, this distinguished novel by the author of My Lamp is Bright and O, The Brave Music has the rich substance of an old-fashioned love story and the refreshing brightness of a new day. Jacket and endpapers illustrated by Barye W. Phillips. About the author (from back cover of dust jacket) -- Dorothy Evelyn Smith was born in Derby, England, the daughter of a Methodist parson. She first began to write successfully for English magazines while her husband was serving in the First World War. Thereafter her short stories and articles steadily reached a wide market, though her work was subject to interruptions from her growing daughter and son and their prodigious number of pets. In 1939k, when most English magazines went off the market, Mrs. Smith began her first novel, interrupted this time by her war work. Often she wronte "on the end of the kitchen table with bombs falling around the house," and part of her first novel was finished while she was confined to bed with an injured leg. CHECK OUT .

BEFORE YOU BID PLEASE READ THE BELOW CONDITIONS OF SALE THAT REGARD TO THE NEW STAR FEEDBACK SYSTEM EBAY HAS IMPLEMENTED as well as our shipping costs. FEEDBACK IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A SELLER ; Postivie feedback will be left for buyer once final payment has been received ADS – We do combine ship our vintage magazine ads (via media mail) and shipping costs are as follows: 1 – 10 Ads, Shipping Cost $3.38 11 – 25 Ads, Shipping Cost $3.63 ; 26 – 30 Ads, Shipping Cost $3.76 31 – 50 Ads, Shipping Cost $4.01.

We are simply entering the weight of the item and the eBay calculator is then determining the cost to ship. We do add an additional .19 on each item for shipping to cover the tracking and delivery feature offered by USPS. Sometimes with collectible/fragile items, we find it necessary to add a small handling fee to cover the cost of peanuts, bubble-wrap, special mailers, etc., depending on the item being shipped and what is necessary to package it safely for shipping. Total Shipping/Handling costs are shown on each auction (you will never be asked to pay more than what is shown on the auction under Shipping/Handling). Therefore, if you bid you know up front and without surprise what the shipping cost is. We again ask, that in good faith, if you bid and know what the shipping cost is you do not hit us with anything less than a 5-star rating for shipping and handling. We have clearly made notice on every auction up front what the cost to ship is and if it is too high – please do not bid and then complain that is not fair to us as a seller. We do combine ship & offer combined shipping discounts.We ask that if you feel the shipping cost is too high combined with the amount you wish to bid on an item, please do not bid. Note that when we have been creating the actual shipping label, if the shipping amount that the eBay calculator determined was considerably higher than actual, we have been issuing a shipping refund via Paypal. On the other hand, if the calculator estimated shipping too low, we have been paying the difference and losing money. We strive for a 5-star rating for shipping and therefore our buyers will never be asked to pay more for shipping than what was shown on the original auction. You will know your shipping costs up front before you bid.**WE DO COMBINE SHIP and OFFER COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNTS. If you are a multiple auction winner, please do not complete the checkout process until we have sent you an invoice with the combined shipping discount reflected.If you are pleased with your purchase, Please leave us 5 Stars! You might think that you are leaving a reasonable rating by giving a seller 3 or 4 Star's, however this is not true, eBay's feedback system treats anything less than 5 Star's as sub-standard and punishes sellers. A 4-star rating is actually a bad rating for the seller. So in all fairness, we ask that if you were happy with your overall transaction please rate us 5 Stars as anything less is saying you were not pleased and will be detrimental to us. Also, please do not forget to leave feedback. We have several buyers that we assume were pleased with their purchase, but never left feedback for us. This also is detrimental as per the eBay feedback system. If there is a problem , before leaving negative feedback or less than a 5-star rating, contact us via email and we will make every effort to make it right so that your transaction is satisfactory. We have always been willing to issue a refund (less cost for shipping) if you wish to return an item you are not pleased with. If YOU as the buyer choose not to return the item, then please leave us the 5-star rating. At that point, we have done everything within our power to make sure your transaction was satisfactory and should not be penalized if you do not wish to return the item. We do NOT accept returns on the penny lots (see our disclaimer above under COINS). Thank You!
