Description: First edition of the first book in Asimov's Black Widowers series. Octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "To Stephen Isaac Asimov." Very good in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Wendell Minor. "There are few stories I write that I enjoy as much as I enjoy my Black Widowers" (Isaac Asimov). In the tradition of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, Isaac Asimov has created twelve mystery masterpieces that are, as he puts it, "very cerebral." The members of the Black Widowers Club: a chemist, a math teacher, a patent attorney, an artist, a code expert, a free-lance writer, and a waiter meet for dinner once a month without their wives and solve mysteries, murders and conspiracies over wine.
