About This Item
Some colour missing from top of spine, some nicks from bottom of spine; corners rubbed. Title, sub-title, editor's name and publisher's name on spine are all in bright gilt without any fading. The typical impression of Holmes on front board with pipe and deer-stalker hat. Foredge and bottom-edge uncut, top edge smooth and darker. On the copyright page is the ruling by the War Production Board curtailing the use of paper by publishers, and the publisher's adherence to same by 1. Using lighter-weight paper and 2. Printing books with smaller margins and more words to each page. Result: fewer pages per book. D.j. has a few pieces missing but still about 90% intact.
Copyright page 1944 matches 1944 on title page. Assumed 1st edition.
