Dealer Notes

Although Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance some four years earlier in ‘A Study in Scarlet’, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes marks the great detective’s debut in a short story, the form in which he is best known and which propelled Holmes to the status of detective fiction’s most enduring character and his author to literary celebrity.

Author DOYLE, Sir Arthur Conan

Date 1892, 1894

Binding 4to. Original pale and navy blue cloth respectively, titles to spine and front cover gilt, pale grey patterned endpapers, all edges gilt.

Publisher George Newnes

Condition A very good set, showing light wear to the gilt panels and spine ends and a little dustiness to the cloth, though less than usually seen. Superficial splits to hinges and a contemporary ownership inscription to The Memoirs, but internally clean.

Price: £6000.00
