Monte Carlo Chase - LeRoy Neiman (Hard Cover Book, Signed Inside)
You are about to embark on a visual adventure that will bring you to the very brink of the south of France!
The week of the Grand Prix, a well known artist arrives at Monte Carlo in pursuit of a rogue art dealer who has made a fortune publishing bogus art prints and selling them to an eager public. The crafty scoundrel, aptly named Renard, usually travels in disguise and under many names, thus making him an especially slippery target. The vigilant artist, for his own reasons, intends to track Renard down and break his ruse.
The pursuit plays out in restaurants along the Cote d'Azur, in hotel lobbies and in the Salle Privee of the Casino Royale. In this world of wealth and artifice a special cunning and a refined sense of style are required by both villain and hero - the former to elude, the latter to capture. This delicate balance may be swayed by a mere rumor or other such gossip floating around. Seemingly half-obvious, the artist, ever fulfilling his role as society's mirror, takes great pleasure in studiously describing his chic surroundings. while with each roll of the dice, the stakes rise higher.
With brush - and pen - in hand, renowned artist LeRoy Neiman tells a tale of art world intrigue set in Monte Carlo, the glittering diamond-head of the French Riviera. While telling the story, Neiman's brilliant palette and candid prose reveal the true heart of Monte Carlo. Toasting this princely paradise of pleasure and privilege, pulchritude and power, fortune and Formula One, Neiman's cycle of paintings - with their unique array of color and splash - compliments the text and dazzles the eye.
With stylish savoir faire, Neiman has created a fitting contribution to both the detective fiction genre and to fine art itself. You won't want to put it down! This stated first printing SIGNED hardcover from 1988 is huge and would fit nicely on ANY coffee table!

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
