Jeffrey Archer

Jeffrey Archer Book Lot of 12

Jeffrey Archer aka Baron Archer of Weston-super-Mare is an English novelist and former politician. His published works have run the gamut from thrillers, children's books and historical fiction to short story collections, plays, and non-fiction. 

This lot includes his best-seller Kane and Abel, which tells the stories of two men born worlds apart. They have nothing in common except the same date of birth and a need to succeed in life. 

Not a Penny More, Not a Penny Less is the author's first book, written to stave off bankruptcy. And his short story collection A Quiver Full of Arrows is one of my favorites, because the twelve stories are rumored to all be based on real life (but you read and draw your own conclusions if that's indeed the truth).

Books are in varied condition from Like New to Good.  All are readable with no missing pages, no writing or highlighting of text, spines are intact, and minor flaws such as folds, creases, small tears, and age-related yellowing are possible.

Ransom Riggs

This young adult novel was originally intended to be a picture book featuring photographs Riggs had collected, but on the advice of an editor, he used the photographs as a guide from which to put together a narrative.

The result was a story about a boy who follows clues from his grandfather's old photographs, tales, and his grandfather's last words which lead him on an adventure that takes him to a large abandoned orphanage on Cairnholm, a fictional Welsh island.

This paperback is new and would make a great addition to your family library, a gift for your Valentine or with chocolate and eggs in an Easter basket.

After a family tragedy, Jacob feels compelled to explore an abandoned orphanage on an island off the coast of Wales, discovering disturbing facts about the children who were kept there.
