As you both are well aware, in the Nero Wolfe novel WHERE THERE'S A WILL, there are 6 infamous photographs in the first edition and the G&D edition through which Wolfe solves the mystery. Infamous because while the book takes place in the summer, the photos were taken during the winter. Up until today I thought these were the only editions where the photographs appeared. But according to some guy I read on the internet, the photos also appeared in Avon's edition #103, between pages 162 and 163. I don't own a copy - in fact, I'm not sure I've even seen one - so I can't give an objective confirmation. But I have no reason to doubt it. Are either of you aware of this information? Or own the book?
Well. Bob may have been aware of this, but I wasn't. When I read the book (about three sisters contesting the will of their murdered brother) it was a later paperback edition. But somewhere along the way I acquired a copy of Avon 103, so I took a look. And - Lo and Behold - there they were, about the size of postage stamps. Were they taken in the winter? You wouldn't know it from these. Were they bigger in the hardcover editions? Does it matter that they were left out of later paperbacks? Does winter or summer really matter? I don't know, but they're mildly interesting, I suppose.
