About This Item
NY: E. P. Dutton & Co., 1967. First Edition . Hardcover. First edition of the author's second, and probably scarcest, book; very good in a good to very good dust jacket. Top edge of page block has a little spotting; slight wear to brown cloth at spine ends. The price clipped jacket has small chips at spine ends and corners. There is also a small piece of the jacket missing on the spine near the bottom. The publisher's name across the foot of the jacket is present, but the last four letters of the author's name are missing above the publisher's name. The missing piece is roughly triangular, and less than one inch on any side. No names or other markings in the book; a relatively square and tight copy.
Synopsis
Jim Qwilleran is not exactly overwhelmed by his new assignment for the Daily Fluxion. Interior design has never been one of his specialties and now he's supposed to turn out an entire magazine on the subject every week! But the first issue of Gracious Abodes is barely off the presses when Qwilleran finds himself back on more familiar territory--the exclusive residence featured on the cover has been burglarized and the lady of the house found dead...now Qwilleran and Koko--the brilliant Siamese--have their respective moustache and whiskers twitching, and when Koko starts pawing clues in the dictionary and sniffing designer furniture, Qwilleran finds himself doing a feature on a very clever murder.
