Books of the 1950s: A special edition of this 1953 novel came with an asbestos binding show

We didn’t see any triple solves this week, but there was only one triple stumper. The rest of the week went 1 or 2 right. We think Tuesday’s clue was the easiest. We can see where the 3 languages part of Thursday’s clue could throw someone and, as for Friday, we learned that not everyone knows the whole scoop on asbestos.

Phillip Howard returned on Monday but lost to Garrett Marcotte. By Wednesday, Garrett was that 3x champ everyone wished for. On Thursday, Kevin Walsh took over and won again on Friday. Kevin will be back for Game 3 on Monday.

This week’s Top Payday: Garrett Marcotte on Tuesday. Kevin Walsh was only $100 behind that on Friday, but Kevin made a bit more than Garrett in his first game so he ended up with a bigger 2-day total.

Here is the “Where Am I” category that was in Friday’s game from Jeopardy’s YouTube channel.
