Rex Stout, "The Second Confession,"Viking Press, 1949. First edition.
Ex-library copy: flaps of jacket removed from pastedowns, with small loose piece of front flap and jacket itself now housed in Brodart cover. Jacket trimmed at top and bottom edges, some rubbing wear to surfaces. Stamps to endpapers and pastedowns. Book itself heavily rubbed at tail of spine and bottom fore corners. Thin crack beginning at half title page. Slight spine lean. Overall a still fairly presentable copy of the first edition.
