All digitally remastered dustjackets are shipped in a removable, Brodart archival dustjacket protector, and ready to place on your book. Due to the scarcity of this dustjacket, I have added an embossed digital watermark to these images to avoid unauthorized duplication. The embossed watermark will NOT appear over the artwork on the front panel. The counter-stamps identifying this as a reproduction WILL appear discretely on the flaps only. About Jackets: The dustjacket offered in this auction is digitally scanned from a high quality original at 600 DPI. The master is then carefully restored to remove any minor imperfections. This significantly enhances the eye appeal rather than just offering a color photocopy with flaws. Great care is taken to painstakingly retouch these images with emphasis on maintaining the full scope of the original artwork and preserving the texture and granularity of the original. The dustjacket is then printed on an industrial quality machine -- usually a Xerox DocuColor. This professional color photocopier far exceeds the image quality possible on any inkjet printer, and produces sharper, crisper images and much better color definition (tone, hue & saturation) with pleasing results. About Title: The Opera of Paris is the scene of this story -- from the Lyre of Apollo on top of its seventeen stories to the lake that lies beneath its five cellars. In the process of ransacking the archives of the National Academy of Music the author was struck by the coincidences between the phenomena ascribed to the legendary opera ghost and the mysterious conditions that attended the kidnapping of Christine Daaé, the disappearance of the Vicomte de Chagny and the death of his brother Count Philippe whose body was found on the bank of the lake that exists on the Rue Scribe side of the lower cellars. In the course of this tale dealing with the weird occurrences of that tragedy the author shows that the ghost and elusive agent of the crimes committed in the cellars are the same. The Universal production starring Lon Chaney was filmed from this story.
