Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Glass, Andrew (illustrator) (illustrator). First Edition, First Printing. A lively and lesser-seen juvenile mystery introducing Samantha (?Sam?) Spayed, a canine sleuth paired with the well-meaning but inept detective Philip Barlowe. Marilyn Singer crafts a playful detective narrative with strong pacing and humor, while Andrew Glass?s illustrations elevate the work with expressive, atmospheric linework. The visual program is a key feature?Glass employs a textured, tonal drawing style reminiscent of pen-and-ink cross-hatching, giving the book a slightly noir-inflected feel uncommon in children?s detective fiction of the period. The title spread and interior plates reinforce character and mood, bridging chapter-book storytelling with a more sophisticated illustrative approach. Physical Description: Octavo hardcover; 9.25 inches tall; 84 pages. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white drawings by Andrew Glass. Dust jacket designed by Susan Hood. First Edition, First Printing. Condition: Near Fine in a very good price-clipped dust jacket. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Historical Significance ? Part of a broader 1980s movement toward more visually engaging juvenile fiction, A Nose for Trouble reflects a shift in children?s publishing where illustration regained importance beyond early readers. The anthropomorphic detective theme places it within a long tradition of animal-led mystery narratives, while its tone aligns with light parody of classic noir detective tropes. Subjects: children?s detective stories, anthropomorphic animals, Andrew Glass illustration, 1980s children?s literature, canine characters, juvenile fiction, mystery, illustrated books.
