Another Adventure of Sherlock Holmes.
London, Georges Newnes, 1902
First edition. The Hound is not merely one of the most famous of all Sherlock Holmes novels but also one of the great Edwardian Novels full stop. Beloved and well regarded from its inception and truly one of the most attractive books ever published, copies that remain in such condition, as in this instance, are very uncommon. A superb copy of a great book.
First edition, first impression, first issue (with 'you' for your on page 13, line 3. ); 8vo; frontispiece and 15 full-page illustrations by Sidney Paget; publisher's red cloth, decoration and titles to upper board in black and gold and to spine gilt, contemporary ownership inscription to the half title page, spray of foxing early and late, a few very minor flecks to upper board but withal a very nice copy and quite uncommon thus.
