About This Item
Bantam Books. Very Good. BCE. Hardcover. Blue paper over board, mild shelf wear. DJ with chips and tears on ends. "The book opens with an unsigned introductory essay comparing Rex Stout's style to Robert Goldsborough's, and also explains that Goldsborough was the winner of a pack of would-be continuators, and compares Goldsborough's effort to that of Adrian Conan Doyle to continue Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Although unsigned, the place of writing given (Mount Independence) makes it likely that the author of the introduction is John McAleer, Rex Stout's official biographer. Bantam, Goldsborough's publisher, later inserted a note in books explaining that McAleer was indeed the author, and that it was never Bantam's intention to make a mystery out of the identity of the author of the introductory essay." Wikipedia. On a personal note, I found the book very enjoyable, not Stout's perfect voice, but very, very close. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall .
