Hardcover with dust jacket. This is the true first edition with no statement of later printings and not a book club issue. Hardcover in Near Fine condition; dust jacket also Near Fine. Text is clean and unmarked with tight binding and firm hinges. The fore edge of the textblock is very lightly foxed. Minor dings to board edges and a small ink spot on the top edge of the back board. A tiny ding is present on the back flyleaf and pastedown at the bottom edge. The dust jacket, now in a demco mylar sleeve, has small rips and chips at spine ends and corners, with minor losses at top corners. Back panel shows light scratching and some ink rubbing along the fore edge. A few scratches are also present at the bottom of the front panel spine. Overall light edgewear to jacket. A classic Nero Wolfe mystery that sharply critiques the FBI, The Doorbell Rang remains one of Rex Stout's most politically charged and memorable works. True first printings in collectible condition are increasingly scarce.

Terms of sale
No Alternative books: 69 Phillips St, Greenfield MA 01301; 978-201-9901; lukehuszar@gmail.com. All listed items are subject to prior sale. Books may be returned up to 30 days after arrival so long as the condition of the book has not changed - contact me.
Shipping terms
Orders ship within 2 business days of payment - typically next day. Orders are shipped via USPS media mail at a flat rate of $6 and $2 for each additional item. Orders can also be shipped via USPS priority mail for $15 for the first book. For both services, customers will be contacted if heavy/oversized books require additional shipping costs, or if the shipping destination requires additional shipping costs.
Important note for non-US buyers: International orders are billed at cost, and this cost varies greatly with the weight and size of the order. If you are ordering oversized volumes or multiple books, expect notably higher shipping costs. When you place your order, I will estimate the shipping options and costs with PirateShip and email you about these options. When we agree on a shipping method, I will send an invoice for the additional shipping costs through Abebooks, and will pack and ship the order once this is paid. If it turns out that your order costs less to ship than the default international shipping cost that I use for my books, I will reiumburse you for the difference.
