Want List: Leslie Charteris and The Saint

Believe it or not, there are indeed Charteris books that are missing from the collection that helped to build www.saint.org! Please look at the following want list, and send me quotes via e-mail to "saint" at this domain (saint.org). I am always discovering things I don't have... so if you have something strange and/or unique, even if it isn't on my list, please let me know about it.

'saint' at this domain (saint.org)

I also have some extra editions from time to time, so take a look at my for sale list.


Charteris items I am most eager to locate:

  • Not So Saintly by Leslie Charteris, still unpublished. This is the book that I was instrumental in bringing to completion. Charteris has told me that it will be dedicated to me and Paul M. James when it is published, therefore it will be a great addition to my collection.
  • The Saint's Sporting Chance by Leslie Charteris, possibly published by Amereon Reprints. Another book that I have never seen, one which I believe to be just a rehash of old short stories under a new title. Repeated calls to the publisher have yielded little results, but my suspicion is that this book has never been printed--they are waiting for enough prepaid orders to do a print run.
  • Bet on the Saint by Leslie Charteris, unpublished, circa 1968. This is a manuscript that Burl Barer and I discovered while we were doing research at Boston University. The book was completed but rejected by Doubleday, Pyramid, and Hodder & Stoughton. I would love to see this published someday, even in paperback.
  • Foreign Language versions. I have copies of various Saint books in many different languages, including French, Hebrew, Danish, Hungarian, Spanish, German, Dutch, Japanese, Greek, Portugese, Polish, Finnish, Norwegian, Italian, Afrikaans, Czech, and Swedish. I have listed various editions below that I know I am missing -- there could certainly be editions I don't even know about. I am especially looking for Saint books in Turkish, Serbo-Kroat, Arabic, Braille, and any others not listed.
  • Murder by Television, from Screen Guide Magazine, 1946
  • I'd Rather Fly, from The Times Newspaper (London), March 13, 1961.
  • The Thriller Magazine; many of Charteris' stories were first published in The Thriller. I would like to find some of these old British magazines for my collection.
  • I am looking for a May 1936 newsreel interview with Leslie Charteris and his first wife as they landed on the maiden voyage of The Hindenburg at Lakehurst, New Jersey. If you know of a source for this footage, please help me.
  • In the summer of 1941, Leslie Charteris wrote a short story called The Saint's Second Front about a Japanese sneak attack on the coast of Southern Califorinia that was averted by Saintly means. It was killed by the national magazine Charteris wrote it for because "we do not think this is the time to publish anything which might aggravate the tensions with our Japanese friends". This story has never been published, and Charteris' own copy was lost. I believe he wrote it for Cosmopolitan, and perhaps they have a copy in their files...


First Editions Want List

I do have a large collection of Charteris first editions, but have had some difficulty finding ones with dustjackets--epecically British editions from the 1930's. I really prefer copies with dustjackets, even dustjackets in poor condition. Please e-mail quotes, sources, or leads to me as "saint" at this domain (saint.org).

'saint' at this domain (saint.org)

Books marked "any copy" are ones that I am looking for any copy, but ones marked "dustjacket" are those I have already, but would like to find a copy in dustjacket. You may quote me books that are not listed, as I often upgrade to finer copies with better dustjackets than the ones I have.
