"Baines is an American institution ... and when Baines turns detective, our delight knows no bounds." -Leslie Charteris in The Saint Mystery Magazine Mystery fans will fall in love with Scattergood Baines! "That typically American character, that magazine and movie favorite-Scattergood Baines-had his own manhunting method. 'I dunno's I hold much with clues, not the kind ye kin see with your eyes and tetch with your fingers.' He could 'git the true inwardness' of an assault-and-robbery-and that's true detecting. Scattergood Baines acts the part of an authentic detective, in the purest American style." -Ellery Queen in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine The Scattergood Baines Method: "He leaned back on the specially reinforced chair on the piazza of his hardware store, removed his shoes and socks and began to twiddle his toes-much to the chagrin of his wife Mandy. His mind worked more freely when his toes were unconfined, so that he might wriggle them as he reasoned." Here are 12 classic stories about the three-hundred-pound Sage of Coldriver. Written during the Golden Age of the Detective Story, and printed in the same magazines as Rex Stout, Agatha Christie and Erle Stanley Gardner, most of the Scattergood Baines tales have never been reprinted before. For readers of Wolfe, Marple, and Father Brown, this one-of-a-kind collection, selected from the pages of The Saturday Evening Post and The American Magazine, is an incomparable treat. Leslie Charteris hailed Clarence Budington Kelland as "one of the Old Masters." Few other authors could fit romance, mystery and detection into 5,000 words with such adroit effortlessness. "A writer of distinction." -The Detroit News

The detective story--the classic whodunit with its time-displacement structure of crime--according to most literary historians, is of relatively recent origin. Early in its development, the whodunit was harshly criticized for its tightly formula-bound structure. Many critics prematurely proclaimed "the death of the whodunit" and even of detective fiction altogether. Yet today, the genre is alive, as contemporary authors have brought it into modern times through a significant integration of elaborate character development and psychology. With the modern psychological detective story emerging from the historical cauldron of detective fiction and early psychology, the genre continues to develop a complexity that reflects and guides the literary sophistication needed. This book, the first of its kind, analyzes over 150 whodunit novels and short stories across the decades, from The Moonstone to the contemporary novels that saved the genre from an ignominious death.

The 1900 edition of Polk's Seattle City Directory listed four apartment buildings. By 1939, that number had grown to almost 1,400. This study explores the circumstances that prompted the explosive growth of this previously unknown form of housing in Seattle and takes an in-depth look at a large number of different apartment buildings, from the small and simple to the large and grand. Illustrated with numerous contemporary and vintage photographs and sketches, this volume preserves an intimate record of these under-studied and under-appreciated buildings and will inspire an appreciation for their history and architectural variety, and for their preservation as an integral part of Seattle's urban landscape.
