But it sounds like a book that absolutely should be in my collection. Sigh.

But the other two I've never seen anywhere.<br /><br />Have you ever read the Nero Wolfe story by Symons? It's my favorite in the whole book.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-928090365516793722011-04-01T12:27:20.031-04:002011-04-01T12:27:20.031-04:00Yvonne: Mysteries are my middle name.

Tom Adams' artwork on the 1st edition of <a href="http://www.tomadamsuncovered.co.uk/gallery/pic_thecollectorhardback.html" rel="nofollow">THE COLLECTOR by John Fowles</a> perfectly captures the content and mood of the book. Adams also did the covers for a large series of reprints of Agatha Christie novels by Fontana, a British paperback publisher. Here are two great ones: <a href="http://www.tomadamsuncovered.co.uk/gallery/pic_halloweenparty.html" rel="nofollow">Hallowee'n Party</a><br /><a href="http://www.tomadamsuncovered.co.uk/gallery/pic_deathintheclouds.html" rel="nofollow">Death in the Clouds</a><br /><br />There's a whole book devoted to his Christie covers. It's always been priced a bit too steep for me when I've come across it.
