Abstract
The Grosset & Dunlap imprint was a reduced price edition of the original Farrar&Rinehart.
This is on the shelf because Rex Stout was an important local author. Rex Stout was born in 1886 and died in 1975 at home (10 Milltown Rd, Danbury, CT 06811) on the border of New York and Connecticut where he lived for many years. His Nero Wolf series was very popular. He is best known for his Nero Wolfe mysteries, but he also served as head of the Writers' War Board in World War II.
