New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1942. dj. Hardcover - Humorous bibliomystery set in the Cornell University Library, published under a pseudonym by Cornell's librarian at the time. "Seldom if ever has there been a mystery story quite like this one. Yes, there are murders in it- two of them, in fact. And there's a mystery of other descriptions too.. . There is a lot of curious esoteric lore here and there, of special interest to bibliophiles." 242 pp. Dust jacket by E. McKnight Kauffer.
Condition: Good only in a fair dust jacket (some spine slant, significant edgewear to the dj, with a long tear along the side of the spine, etc. but overall a reasonable copy of a rather hard to find original edition.)
