    Description

    The new Managing Director of Schemes Ltd has an elegant London office and a theatrically dressed assistant - however Bones, as he is better known, is bored. Luckily there is a slump in the shipping market and it is not long before Joe and Fred Pole pay Bones a visit. They are totally unprepared for Bones' unnerving style of doing business, unprepared for his unique style of innocent and endearing mischief.

    Five StarsHumorous stories. I had never read anything by Edgar Wallace but one and I was hooked. 5good story, BAD imprintThe issue here is not the Edgar Wallace story, which, while not the strongest of the "Sanders" novels, rounds out the stories of the main characters (Bones/Tibbets, Hamilton and Sanders) nicely. The issue is this sub-amateurish printing. Not only is it simply a stack of 8 1/2" x 11" sheets bound as a paperback; but the chosen font is Courier. Courier! Of all the lame fonts to choose. Hey, it's not 1980! There are other choices out there; and nearly all are easier to read and better looking. No publisher uses Courier as the main font of a book for good reasons. Truly unbelievable. Just to add more insult to the mess: paragraphs are not indented, just separated by blank lines; the text of the last page of each chapter is vertically centered on the sheet, even if it is just three or four lines long, which is disconcerting; the title page consists simply of the title and author in the same font size as the text itself. The edition most closely resembles the work of a marginally competent high-schooler with no sense of aesthetics.These faults are completely unnecessary. A few seconds of thought and a few mouse clicks would improve the imprint dramatically. A little more effort with the printer and binder would produce a perfectly respectable edition. Based on my assumption that all their releases suffer from the same lack of professionalism, I recommend avoiding all Filiquarian Publishing products (identifiable by their excruciatingly plain black and white covers and the ironic "High Quality Paperback" in large letters at the top), unless there are no alternatives available whatsoever. Without exaggeration, I would prefer a foxed, water-stained and roughly-used copy.It is truly sad that this well-intentioned effort to re-issue a classic novel has been so needlessly wasted. 1very dullI hoped this would be a pleasant period piece but was most disappointed by the slow pace of the book and the excessive wordiness. 1A bit of funRather feel good lot of tales great fun to read. Wish I had Bones luck one of those books that the good guy gets out on top no matter what. Bit like Sylvester an tweety bird - the bird always wins. Fun to read 4EnjoyableThis is a fun books to read. Goes along with the Sander Series. 4Different but entertainingI enjoy reading classic stories and this one keeps an interest in the principal character . I would reccomend it to all classic lovers. 3Sometimes its better to be lucky than smartBones ( ) has returned from military serice on the West Coast of Africa (see the Sanders novels of Wallace) to find himself wealthy and solitary in London. Through a series of misadventures, he manages to swindle swindlers, con conmen, and outcraft crafty financiers. Aided by the beautiful Miss Winfield, who is his beloved "typewriter" or secretary, and Hamilton, his military superiors, Bones in his honest bumbling way is able to win out and persue his own plans. 5Wallace is simply greatThis book is simply great. Love the Africa series of Wallace, including the other books. Mr Bones is one of my favorit persons in this book. Close to be slapstick. 5Old but goodQuirky! A bit old-fashioned in the writing in some places, but it holds up through the decades. It was recommended by a character in the Dorothy Martin series by Jeanne Dams. I wanted to know what she was talking about, so I read it! 3Oddball seeming idiot triumphs and finds riches and romanceI love this type of story! Nice bit of romance. If you liked this, you will probably like 'Chick', its kinda the same deal. Not rags to riches, but something like that. Also, 'The Duke in the Suburbs', too. 5
