The Egypts Gold

The Egypts Gold (1939) by David Scott
Penguin Books edition – As sold by Crappy Old Books

Smugglers, secrets, and sun-scorched intrigue — The Egypts Gold is a forgotten gem of 1930s adventure fiction. David Scott’s atmospheric tale takes readers from the shadowy docks of Alexandria to the crumbling tombs of the Egyptian desert, following a disillusioned British archaeologist who stumbles upon more than just ancient relics. A lost treasure, a coded map, and a trail of double-crossing allies and sinister enemies propel this swift-paced thriller into a world where nothing is sacred — except gold.

Dated, dusty, and possibly a bit dog-eared, this Penguin paperback from Crappy Old Books carries all the charm of a bygone literary era — and maybe a faint whiff of pipe smoke. Treasure awaits… if you dare turn the yellowing pages.

Slightly delicate, but generally solid with no real issues. Slight scuff to bottom front spine, but nothing serious.
