The Hound of the Baskervilles
Arthur Conan Doyle, 1902
DOYLE, Arthur Conan (1859-1930). The Hound of the Baskervilles: Another Adventure of Sherlock Holmes. London: George Newnes, 1902.
Fine copy of the first edition in book form of arguably the most famous detective novel, with misprint "you" for "your" on page 13. The Hound of the Baskervilles was the first Holmes adventure since the publication of "The Final Problem" in which the detective disappears over the Reichenbach Falls. This literary return was described by Doyle as the "inevitable relapse after repentance." De Waal 87; Green & Gibson A26; Locke 52.
Octavo. Illustrated by Sidney Paget. Original pictorial cloth with design by Alfred Garth Jones (a few trivial nicks, spine only very slightly dulled); custom quarter morocco case.
