About This Item
Garden City: International Collector's Library, 1955. FauxLeatherbound. Collectible - VeryGood. 6"x8.5". 686 pgs. Navy boards w/gilt design on front and spine. Heathered cream paste downs. Selected w/intro by Adrian Conan Doyle (Son). Deckle edge. Navy silk ribbon w/tears. Small rub to corners. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean w/slight tone. Not x-library, unmarked. A Treasury of Sherlock Holmes contains the best and most famous cases solved by the great investigator from 221 B, Baker Street. They have been selected for entertainment of the modern reader by Adrian Conan Doyle, son of Sir Arthur. This fine collection includes A Study in Scarlet, in which Dr. Watson, the narrator, first meets the man who was to become his lodging-mate and friend; and The Hound of the Baskervilles, a novel generally considered to be the most baffling, most masterly of all. Rounding out this connoisseur's volume are twenty-seven classic short stories, including The Adventure of the Dancing Men, The Five Orange Pips, The Musgrave Ritual and The Red-Headed League. It is a volume filled with delightful entertainment—spine-tingling stories forever imitated but never equaled.
