The Crowborough Edition of the Works of Arthur Conan Doyle, 24 Volumes, Signed
$5,000.00
This set includes the complete works of the iconic crime fiction author, including of course the four novels and over fifty short stories about Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, as well as all his non-Sherlock works such as his plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction, and historical novels. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's signature in the first volume of this set is interesting in that the set was published during the last year of his life, before he died of a heart attack at age 71 in 1930. Octavo. Signed by Arthur Conan Doyle in the first volume. Number 207 of 760 copies. Only 750 were ever put up for sale, and it's rare to find one in this condition. Complete 24 volume set. Brown boards with tan cloth spines, gilt "A Conan Doyle" title to front board, paper titles to spines. Does not include dust jackets. As a whole set the books are clean and unmarked, paper titles on spine intact, no foxing to pages, no writing inside whatsoever. Includes frontispiece (photograph of Doyle) and onion skin over title page.
24 Vol, 8vo hardcover. Original publisher's half cloth and boards with paper spine labels. Volumes are in very good condition, with little bumping at tips. Spines are all sound. No interior marks, and all paper labels on spine are present. Volume one signed by A. Conan Doyle on limitation page. Set (hand) numbered 207 of 760 (of which only 750 were ever for sale).
