Where to Buy the Books
The Wolfe Pack does not sell books directly, although we do receive a small percentage of any Amazon purchase you make using the links on this site (see the link to the left (below the menus).
- Use the list at http://www.nerowolfe.org/htm/corpus/CorpusAlpha.htm#listing to make sure you don't miss any of the 48 books.
- Not all the books are still in print, so you can buy some new, but will need to buy some used. Bantam is now reprinting them 2-to-a-book. Five books containing 10 of the original 48 books have been published in the past couple years.
- Borders, Barnes & Noble, and two independent mystery bookstores near me stock a minimum of 20 Wolfe titles, including all the newest reprints. If possible, I try to buy from local stores to keep them in business.
- Used books can be in quite good condition -- or not. They are usually reasonably priced. However, I recently tried to locate a replacement copy of Too Many Women and found that because it has not been reprinted for many, many years (evil sexist plot?), used copies are quite expensive, even for the paperback.
- If you hold out for hardbound copies you will pay a good deal of money and have to accumulate them more slowly -- hardbound copies were only printed the first couple of years after the original publication date. Beware of Book Club editions: they are fine for reading but have a very low resale value and poor quality paper. Compared to original hardbound publications, they easily turn brown and eventually dry out altogether.
- If you use the link on our web site to Amazon (directly under the menus on the left side of every page), the Wolfe Pack receives a small percentage of the sale that helps pay for our web site hosting costs.
OTHER sources of books:
Rex Stout's prolific output is not sometimes grasped because he is so often thought of as the author of the Nero Wolfe series, without due regard for his other two writing careers.
