His literary works were highly popular; his novels earned him a fortune. His legacy perhaps is best known through some of the phrases he coined "the great unwashed", "pursuit of the almighty dollar", "the pen is mightier than the sword", and "dweller on the threshold". Then came a sharp decline in his reputation, so that he is known today for little more than the opening line "It was a dark and stormy night", the first seven words of his novel Paul Clifford (1830) (Wiki).

Three cheers for your eBay business! After contacting a number of sellers, you were the only one who took the time to answer ALL of my questions prior to the purchase. Recently I had to return books as sellers' condition ratings did not match the quality of items sent. Also, many thanks for carefully and securely wrapping and packing the volume to avoid damage in transit. I am very grateful for the top-tier support, exemplary customer care, and yeoman service. Rating: A++++
