About this Item
Description:
First edition of Ellen Raskin's dizzying comic mystery, winner of the Newbery Medal for 1979. Samuel Westing, a reclusive millionaire, leaves an unconventional will, drawing an apparently random group of neighbors into a search for his own killer. "Who were these people, these specially selected tenants? They were mothers and fathers and children. A dressmaker, a secretary, an inventor, a doctor, a judge. And, oh yes, one was a bookie, one was a burglar, one was a bomber, and one was a mistake." In 2025, forty years after Raskin's death, her estate revealed the existence of an unfinished sequel to The Westing Game, which is expected to appear in time for the novel's fiftieth anniversary in 2028. A very nearly fine copy, in the iconic dust jacket designed by Raskin herself. Single volume, measuring 9 x 6 inches: [6], 185, [1]. Original red cloth spine lettered in black, orange paper boards, red endpapers, original unclipped color pictorial dust jacket, with no Newbery medal affixed. Pinpoint spotting to edges of text block. Seller Inventory # 1004301
