1963 Encyclopedia Brown Book 1st Ed Donald Sobo-VG This is a scarce First Edition Hard Cover Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective book published in 1963 by Thomas Nelson Publishers of Nashville and New York. This was also the first book in the Encyclopedia series by author Donald Sobol with black and white illustrations by Leonard Shortall among its 88 pages.

A fifth grader by the real name of Leroy, Encyclopedia Brown earned his nickname because of his ability to remember facts and figures that most boys his age can’t. With his tomboy friend Sally Kimble, Encyclopedia solves cases out of his garage on Rover Avenue in the town of Idaville for 25 cents a day plus expenses.

The Encyclopedia Brown series books usually had ten or more cases for Encyclopedia to solve. What made these adventures even more fun was that they challenged the reader to come up with the answers to the puzzling crimes. There was at least one inconsistency that would point the way to solving the case. If the reader needed additional help, the solutions could also be found at the end of the book.

The hardcover book is in very fine vintage condition. There is minor wear at spine ends and corners but the binding is solid and strong. The pages do show age-related browning, but no tears, dog-ears, or any markings. A fine opportunity to own a hard to find, first in series children’s book.
