Dell Mapback “Alphabet Hicks” c1947 Rex Stout George A. Frederiksen cover art
Original price was: $52.00.$42.12Current price is: $42.12.
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.
Please see the images for complete condition details.
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.

Dell “map back” mystery Agatha Christie “The Murder at the Vicarage” Vintage 1948 paperback
Original price was: $184.00.$149.04Current price is: $149.04.
This is a "very good minus" vintage paperback with a solid binding, no significant flaws to speak of, aside from a couple of brief numerical annotations in the end papers, no writing, no loose, torn or folded pages. Text block edges are somewhat thumbed and show some tanning. Front cover has a hint of curl to it, clear coating is present on boards, however, has lifted from spine, which is sunned.
Still, a very pleasing copy, with that famous Dell map back dynamic artwork! This edition has begun to become rather scarce. See accompanying images for full condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged to arrive safely to you!
