The Adventures & Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

Doyle, A. Conan

Description:

An opportunity to obtain a set of these classics in original format and bindings at a reasonable price. The Adventures is a second edition published in 1893 in the identical light blue illustrated cloth binding as in the first edition. The Memoirs is a first edition in the dark blue cloth binding matching the Adventures. Both volumes are recased in the original cloth with new endpapers. There is light foxing throughout both volumes but they make an attractive matching set with only slight cloth wear - see pictures. Note: Postage abroad on these heavy books will be moderately expensive.
