Sammi asked:


My local used bookstore has lots of Nero Wolfe (Rex Stout) books. I know most books in the series are out of print, and some are really rare (I’m not talking about first editions or anything like that, just hard to find out of print books). I’m trying to prioritize which ones to get first before someone else walks off with them. So — which ones are rare and which ones are pretty common?

I’m looking for copies of the children’s series “Dipthong Jones”, about a youngster who was a detective. They were printed during the early years of the depression, published in San Francisco I believe. I can’t find anybody who knows about them and my copies have been stolen.

As book is rare it is quite pricey, however competitive compared to the rest of the online shops. Haven’t heard of Pegasaurus before though, so wanted to check with other people before I went ahead. Thanks for helping. G
