520    Published in 1915, "The Thirty-Nine Steps" is a classic 
       espionage thriller, complete with secret codes, ruthless 
       foreign agents, unexpected coincidences and chance 
       encounters, in which "ordinary guy" Richard Hannay finds 
       himself embroiled in an effort to thwart a network of 
       German spies on the eve of WWI. The first in a series of 
       novels featuring Hannay, who would soon be pitted against 
       the Turks during World War I in "Greenmantle" (1916) and 
       gangsters in subsequent tales, Alfred Hitchcock directed a
       well-known film adaptation in 1935, but was forced by 
       Britain's political stance at the time to scrub all 
       references to Germany, substantially altering the original
       story.  This premium quality large print edition includes 
       the complete, unabridged text of John Buchan's classic 
       tale in a freshly edited and newly typeset edition. With a
       large 6" x 9" page size, this Summit Classic Press large 
       print edition is printed on heavyweight 60# bright white 
       paper with a fully laminated cover featuring an original 
       full color design.
