The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine using premium paper to ensure the best quality possible ... this results in sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) than typically seen with pleasing results. About Title: The swashbuckling days of the buccaneers of the Spanish Main painted in brave, bright colors. Martin Conisby, Lord Wendover, embittered by his five years of slavery on the Spanish galleon Esmeralda, escapes during a sea fight to an English ship and makes his way back to England, determined to avenge himself on Richard Brandon, who was the cause of his father's death and his own ill-treatment. Broken in body and spirit, he arrives home one night disguised as a tramp, just in time to save from the hands of robbers a beautiful girl, Lady Jane Brandon, the daughter of the man whom he has sworn to punish. In a tavern he meets a pal, Adam Penfeather, who unfolds to him the story of Black Bartlemy, an infamous pirate, and his treasure buried on an island -- a treasure of fabulous value that has been the dream and hope of roving adventurers along the Spanish Main for many years. About Series: The "Treasure and Vengeance" swashbucklers would span 3 books written in 1920, 1921 and 1940. About Author: Jeffery Farnol (1878-1952) was born in Edgbaston, Birmingham, in the County of Warwick, England. When he was ten years old, the Farnol family moved to London; it was during this period that Jeffery Farnol spent a few years at Lee, where he was able to explore Kent, the county which supplied the background for many of his novels. His first novel, "The Broad Highway," is sub-titled "A Story of Kent." At the age of twenty, Jeffery Farnol married and went to America. To earn money for his immediate needs, he found employment as a scene painter at the Astor Theatre, New York. In his spare time, he began writing "The Broad Highway." The manuscript was submitted to several American publishers, but was not accepted. It was thought to be "too English". Eventually, it was sent to Farnol's mother in England, and subsequently published by Sampson Low in 1910. It was a great success, and the beginning of a relationship with Sampson Low who continued to publish all his novels. Then followed "The Money Moon", "The Amateur Gentleman", "Chronicles of the Imp", and the many romances that have made Jeffery Farnol a best seller for nearly fifty years.
