Part of a long-held Sherlockian library containing early Doyle editions and classic works of Holmes scholarship. Contents clean and unmarked. Binding remains sound. Wrappers with light soiling and sunning, primarily along the edges and spine. A well-preserved Very Good copy. References: Shaw, The Basic Holmesian Library ("The Shaw One Hundred"); De Waal C5948.
