The November 1934 issue of the American Magazine. It contains most notably, complete in this issue, Point of Death, an abridged version of Fer-de-Lance - the first Nero Wolfe novel. This precedes the book publication and can arguably be asserted to be the "true first edition" of the Nero Wolfe classic. I'll leave that judgment to the bibliographers & completists. Other articles and fiction include part 2 of 6 of Beauty's Daughter, a novel by Kathleen Norris, part 4 of 6 of The Closed Room, a novel by Clarence Budington Kelland, Fellow Citizens, I Love You, poetry by Ogden Nash, The Corn Planting, an article by Sherwood Anderson, Hero Poison, an article on egos and college football by Paul Gallico, The Next Step in the New Deal, an article by Walter Lippmann, Scattergood, an Interesting People feature of Thomas J Neary, Ruralist, an Interesting People feature of Sherwood Anderson, and others. There are a number of condition issues. The cover is intact but loose from the spine. Light soiling to the covers. Light wear at the top and bottom of the spine. Missing pages as follows - 41/42 (Interesting People - Fencing champs Marion Lloyd & Dorothy Locke, Angler Helen Jepson), 45/46 (Interesting People String Puller Thomas J Neary & Ruralist Sherwood Anderson), 79/80 (ads Campbell's Soup & Camel's) and 89/90 (Ford ad & Tigress in Gingham story by Virgina Paxton). The Stout story is not affected. A flawed copy with a hard to find cornerstone of golden age mystery fiction.…

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Lazy S Books, Austin, Texas, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 - 4 business days. Shipping costs are based on books weighing 2 LBS. If your book order is heavy or oversized, we may contact you to let you know extra shipping is required.
Note on international orders: ABE's limits on shipping charges are less than the actual cost of international postage in many cases. Consequently additional shipping charges may be applied on international orders. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
