Price range: $54.00 through $59.00
This is a “very good+” to “near fine” vintage paperback from the desirable “mapback” series that Dell Books popularized in the Forties, published circa 1947.
Rex Stout is the author and creator of the popular Nero Wolfe series of mysteries.
The binding is solid, not cracked, not rolled, complete and solid. Text block closes tightly and is flat and square. The glossy cover coating is complete, front and back, the slightest bit of lifting at front cover lower corner. Covers are crease free. Blue tint on textblock top edge is sunned, other edges fairly uniform. One small numerical annotation on the front free end paper, otherwise no writing or marks. No loose, torn or folded pages.
Really an much-better-than-typical copy! You don’t find these books in this condition very often.
