MURDER BY THE BOOK. A Nero Wolfe Story.

First UK edition, first printing. Original red cloth with black titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm with some minor bumping at the spine tips and board corners. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper which has a handful of short closed tears at the spine and flap folds. Unpriced to the front flap (for export). An attractive example.

A Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin bibliomystery. First published in the US by the Viking Press in 1951. (Hubin; Curran, John: The Hooded Gunman).
