A FAMILY AFFAIR. A Nero Wolfe Novel.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original quarter black cloth over blue paper-covered boards, with gold and blue titles to the spine, in the Mel Williamson designed dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with some fading to the top and bottom edges of the paper-covered boards. The contents, with mild fading to the blue endpapers and just a touch of spotting to the top edge of the closed text block, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very near fine dustwrapper, which is lightly toned and spotted to the underside and with a small crease to the top edge of the rear flap. Not price-clipped ($5.95 to the upper front flap).
