Number 226 of 271 hardbound Limited Edition copies. Light flaking of lettering on spine; else a flawless copy, apparently unread. Jacket clean, bright and intact. One of the most elusive Wolfe titles. Contains the Bitter End, originally written as a Tecumseh Fox story for The American Magazine. Stout rewrote it to feature Nero Wolfe when the magazine indicate they would pay double for a Wolfe story. Though Stout subsequently published the original Fox version in The Second Mystery Book, this is the first book publication of the Wolfe version, issued shortly after his death. Also includes an interview with Wolfe by the editor, an essay entitled Why Nero Wolfe Likes Orchids by Archie Goodwin (really Rex Stout), and Stout checklist.

Townsend A5. Advance publisher's copy with "Discussion Copy" stamped on front boards and printed across front panel of the dustjacket. Rear panel has an explanation titled "Why a discussion copy". This apparently is a form of Advance Review copy designed to assess critical interest in the yet unproven Stout. Purple boards are faded (common with this title), a slight touch of fraying at base of spine, two ownership signatures; else clean, tight square and unmarked. Professionally restored jacket has light toning, light rubbing on rear panel; else intact, very nice period art by Leffertz. Stout's first book, a noirish psychlogical suspense story, some feel is overlooked and underrated. A very special item, particularly in this condition.Advance Review Copy.
