FRIDAY THE RABBI SLEPT LATE by Harry Kemelman Fawcett Crest Books, First Paperback Printing, 1965 Condition: Solid Very Good This Edgar Allan Poe Award winner for best mystery novel of 1984 was the first in the author's popular Rabbi Small series. Some cover creasing and rubbing, modest wear on extremities, a slight spine lean and slight vertical curve so the book doesn't lie completely flat. Still, the copy is unmarked and tightly bound with white pages.
