Hey you all, first of two books to be submitted tonight.
Odor of Violets
By Baynard Kendrick
This book was a paperback, and a hard book to find, but scanned fairly
well... should be a upload download validation. The letter was left in the
book but isn't exactly readible, I marked it with four **** so it could be
found. I leave it up to the validator to decide whether to keep the letter
or not. Besides that it is a pretty clean validation. I fixed all the
errors I could find.
And I kept the ad in the back. If anyone knows when you could buy a
paperback book for $.25 and this included shipping we will know how old the
book is. it is very old, and in surprisingly great shape, but... still I am
curious.
Anyway here is the book jacket, and the book is under the .rtf section of
the website.
From the Book Jacket
What this Mystery is about -
A paragraph in a GOSSIP COLUMN which quickly causes two violent deaths
... A blood-stained brass POKER upon which a queer young man deliberately
places his own fingerprints ... A set of very important PLANS written in
Braille to which clings a faint odor of violets ... A pair of expensive
fur-lined GALOSHES which are too small for a lovely lady to wear. ... A
lady's GLOVE which mysteriously moves from a side table to the center of a
room ... A note written in VIOLET INK which causes a murder witness
to change her mind very suddenly ... A secret drawer in a man's desk,
delicately scented with VIOLET PERFUME ... The faint SMELL OF VIOLETS in the
limousine of a wealthy air plane manufacturer . . . The camel's-hair COAT of
a man who says he imports eggs from Australia . . . An ADVERTISEMENT from a
cosmetics concern which conceals a momentous secret . . . An Ediphone RECORD
carrying a message too dangerous to be telephoned.
