Laid-in are two internet downloads of his signature for comparison/authentication. New and unread in a bright and shiny New dust jacket.

Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Pages are crisp clean and unmarked. Illustrations. Bound in the original black boards with a silver-stamped gray spine. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "The world-famous former con artist and bestselling author of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN now reveals the mind-boggling tricks of the scam trade - with advice that has made him one of America's most sought-after fraud prevention experts. 'I had as much knowledge as any man alive concerning the mechanics of forgery check swindling counterfeiting and other similar crimes. Ever since I'd been released from prison I'd often felt that if I directed this knowledge into the right channels I could help people a great deal. Every time I went to the store and wrote a check I would see two or three mistakes made on the part of the clerk or cashier mistakes that a flimflam artist would take advantage of
In a certain sense I'm still a con artist. I'm just putting down a positive con these days as opposed to the negative con I used in the past. I've merely redirected the talents I've always possessed. I've applied the same relentless attention to working on stopping fraud that I once applied to perpetuating fraud.' In CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Frank W. Abagnale recounted his youthful career as a master imposter and forger. In THE ART OF THE STEAL Abagnale tells the remarkable story of how he parlayed his knowledge of cons and scams into a successful career as a consultant on preventing financial foul play - while showing you how to identify and outsmart perpetrators of fraud. Technology may have made it easier to track down criminals but cyberspace has spawned a skyrocketing number of ways to commit crime much of it untraceable. Businesses are estimated to lose an unprecedented $400 billion a year from fraud of one sort or another. If we were able to do away with fraud for just two years we'd erase the national debt and pay Social Security for the next one hundred years. However Abagnale has discovered that punishment for committing fraud much less recovery of stolen funds seldom happens: Once you're a victim you won't get your money back. Prevention is the best form of protection. Drawn from his twenty-five years of experience as an ingenious con artist whose check scams alone mounted to more than $2 million in stolen funds Abagnale's THE ART OF THE STEAL provides eye-opening stories of true scams with tips on how they can be prevented. Abagnale takes you deep inside the world and mind of the con artist showing you just how he pulled off his scams and what you can do to avoid becoming the next victim. You'll hear the stories of notorious swindles like the mustard squirter trick and the 'rock in the box' ploy and meet the criminals like the famous Vickers Gang who perpetrated them. You'll find out why crooks wash checks and iron credit cards and why a thief brings glue with him to the ATM. And finally you'll learn how to recognize a bogus check or a counterfeit bill and why you shouldn't write your grocery list on a deposit slip. A revealing look inside the predatory criminal mind from a former master of the con THE ART OF THE STEAL is the ultimate defense against even the craftiest crook." Abagnale is the subject of the film Catch Me If You Can "a 2002 American crime comedy-drama directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks with Christopher Walken Martin Sheen Nathalie Baye Amy Adams and James Brolin in supporting roles. The screenplay by Jeff Nathanson is based on the eponymous and semi-autobiographical book by Frank Abagnale Jr. who claims that prior to his 19th birthday he successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot a Georgia doctor and a Louisiana parish prosecutor." -- Wikipedia. SIGNED by Frank W. Abagnale. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. vii 229pp. Great Packaging Fast Shipping.

Abdullah, Achmed (1881-1945). American author and screenwriter, most noted for his pulp stories of crime, mystery and adventure
TYPED LETTER SIGNED BY AMERICAN AUTHOR AND SCREENWRITER ACHMED ABDULLAH.
New York: circa 1930. 1930. Good. - 41 words typed on an approximately 10 inch high by 8 inch wide sheet of his personalized letterhead. Signed "A Abdullah". Folded 3 times for mailing. There are several short tears at the folds with some light red staining below the text. There is some light soiling at bottom right and there is a crease & tear to & a small piece out of the bottom right corner. Good. <p>Abdullah writes to future congressman Seymour Halpern that he is too busy to see anyone but "I am sending by this mail the signed picture to your friend."<p>Achmed Abdullah who claimed descent from the Russian imperial family and was educated in England emigrated to the United States in the 1910s. He went on to become an American author and screenwriter most noted for his pulp stories of crime mystery and adventure. He wrote screenplays for some successful films and earned an Academy Award nomination for collaborating on the screenplay for the 1935 film "The Lives of a Bengal Lancer".<p>The Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. New York: circa [1930]. unknown

AHMET ÜMIT.
The dervish gate. There was blood on the stone. Translated by Elke Dixon.
New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 14 cm). In English. 416 p. The dervish gate. Translated by Elke Dixon. The Dervish Gate is more than just a thriller, it is a book of secrets. The secret of a passion spanning over seven centuries: a flame first lit between Jelalledin Rumi and Shams of Tabriz. The secret behind a seven hundred year old crime: the murder of Shams of Tabriz. Ahmet Umit's use of rich, layered language combined with liberal elements of fantasy strikes a unique chord as he asks intriguing questions on religion and the beliefs of Mevlevi Sufism. With a fresh new perspective, he lays bare the relationship between people and religion, passion and faith, which holds true as much today as it did seven hundred years ago. "There was blood on the stone, a full moon in the sky, the scent of earth in the garden. They were swimming, the trees, in an unsettling chill. It was the time of burgeoning winter roses, the season when the narcissus was in full bloom. Seven men came forth in the garden. Seven wrathful hearts, seven minds seized by hatred, seven finely-honed knives. Seven accursed men trod the space, slicing into seven sections the silence of the garden, toward the wooden door where the victim was unearthed."
