  They are all beautiful in their own ways. I posted the Rex Stout cover because, as you probably know by now, I am a huge Nero Wolfe fan! 🙂

  I know! I chose the Rex Stout cover, just because I love his books so much. Otherwise, it would have been too hard.

I’ve only read one Nero Wolfe but loved it – do you know who designed the cover?

  I’ve not been able to track down the artist. I’ve always loved this book cover, though.
  
  I won’t lie: I am half-in-love with Nero’s sidekick, Archie Goodwin. The books are quite well-written, too. 🙂
