Produktbeschreibung
Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
Autorenporträt
American chemist and writer Harrie Irving Hancock is best known for his works on juvenile literature and children's books from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as for creating a fictional account of a German invasion of the United States. On January 16, 1868, Hancock was born in Massachusetts. Laura (Oakes) Hancock and William Henry Hancock were his parents. Nellie Stein and Hancock were wed on December 21, 1887. Their two daughters, Doris Hancock and Vivian Morris Hancock, were reportedly adopted. Hancock was a prolific writer for Leslie's Weekly, the New York Journal, and the New York World who preferred to work at night. A significant portion of his work was produced in the genre of "boy's books" popularized by the renowned Stratemeyer Syndicate. This genre was created on the presumption which proved to be extremely successful that "boys want the thrill of feeling 'grown-up'" and that they enjoy books that provide them with that feeling, particularly those that are part of series in which the same heroes frequent each other.
