Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Three Trumps A Omnibus by Three Trumps. The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated for Best Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon 2000, the world's largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was a nominee for Best Mystery Writer of the Century. The Nero Wolfe stories take place contemporaneously with their writing and depict a changing landscape and society. The principal characters in the corpus do not age. Although it is not directly stated in the stories, Nero Wolfe's age is 56, according to Rex Stout. "Those stories have ignored time for thirty-nine years," Stout told his authorized biographer John McAleer. "Any reader who can't or won't do the same should skip them. I didn't age the characters because I didn't want to. That would have made it cumbersome and would seem to have centered attention on the characters rather than the stories." Archie Goodwin, the narrator of the stories, frequently describes Wolfe as weighing "a seventh of a ton." At the time of the first book, 1934, this was intended to indicate unusual obesity, especially through the use of the word "ton" as the unit of measure. In 1947 Archie writes, "He weighs between 310 and 390, and he limits his physical movements to what he regards as the irreducible essentials." "Wolfe's most extravagant distinction is his extreme antipathy to literal extravagance. Genre: Mystery. Three Trumps a Nero Wolfe Omnibus. Three Trumps, A Nero Wolfe Omnibus: The Black Mountain / / .

Omnibus Editions: Three (or More) Titles in One Volume. Sometimes your desire for the work of a particular writer, or genre, is so strong that only an omnibus edition will suffice. What better than a single volume that contains three novels or perhaps four? Omnibus editions are common in the mystery and science fiction fields, and Gollancz is probably the publishing king of omnibuses, but this selection of meaty books covers the entire spectrum of reading from golf to sailing to John Steinbeck and Kingsley Amis. The work of prolific writers - such as a P.G. Wodehouse, W.E. Johns and Rex Stout - are frequently packaged in omnibus editions simply because it�s a convenient way for avid readers to devour their writing. Value for money is guaranteed.

Original Painting Artwork Signed by Artist William Randell for the Dust Jacket of the Rex Stout - Nero Wolfe Novel - Black Mountain - Accompanied by a First Edition in Jacket of the Finished Book. STOUT, REX & WILLIAM RANDELL. Published by London Crime Club / Collins 1955, 1955. First Edition Signed. Used - Hardcover. This painting on artboard was created and signed by William Randell for the First British Edition of this classic Nero Wolfe mystery novel written by Rex Stout. The painting, itself, measures approximately 8 1/2 inches wide by 10 inches tall, matted to an overall size of 12 inches wide by 14 inches tall. Book is very good in dust jacket. Of the Nero Wolfe dust jackets, this is a superior one in that it actually depicts both Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, which was rarely the case with the Rex Stout books published during his lifetime. The great detective with Goodwin brandishing a gun are depicted in red with a black background with white lettering. In the accompanying book the figure are printed in a light blue color.
