Description: 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 612 of 760 copies. 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, T.E.G. intact, paper titles on spine intact, no foxing to pages, no writing inside whatsoever. A number of the books show some discoloration to the tan cloth. Those and other flaws are listed here: Vol. I: Tiny (2mm) hole to cloth at front hinge (looks as though burned, perhaps from an ember that flew out of Doyle's pipe as he held the book to sign it). Includes frontispiece (photograph of Doyle) and onion skin over title page. Vol. II: Very slight crease to paper title on spine. Vol. III: Several ¼" spots of soiling (slight discoloration) to cloth spine. Vol. IV: Two ¼" spots of soiling (slight discoloration) to cloth spine. Vol. V: Tiny (2mm) water stain to paper title on spine, which blocks half of the U and M in "Volume". Vol. VI: (no discernible flaws) Vol. VII: (no discernible flaws) Vol. VIII: ?" tear to corner of paper title on spine, ¾" stain to front cover (only slightly darker as though from grease). Vol. IX: Tiny spot to back cover, several ?" spots of soiling (slight discoloration) to cloth spine. Vol. X: Tail of spine slightly soiled. Vol. XI: One ?" spot of soiling to cloth spine near front hinge. Vol. XII: Very slight crease to paper title on spine. Tiny scratch to gilt on top edge. Vol. XIII: Slight crease to paper title on pine. Slight rubbing to front board. Vol. XIV: Very slight rubbing to front board. Vol. XV: Slight crease to paper title on spine. Vol. XVI: Slight crease to paper title on spine. Several ¼" spots of soiling (slight discoloration) to cloth spine at rear hinge. Tiny scratch to gilt on top edge. Vol. XVII: Slight soiling to cloth at tail of rear hinge. Slight impression to rear board (as though a heavy mug was sitting on it for a minute too long). Vol. XVIII: (no discernible flaws) Vol. XIX: Faint scratch to gilt on top edge. Vol. XX: One tiny (2mm) spot of soiling to cloth spine near front hinge. Vol. XXI: Splotch of discoloration to spine. Vol. XXII: Two small spots of slight discoloration to front board.

Description: The Crowborough Edition Of the Works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Signed and number set - limited to 760 sets. This set is number 255. The first volume is signed by Sr. Arthur Conan Doyle. Publisher's brown paper covered boards with the author's facsimile signature in gilt to uppers; oatmeal-coloured buckram spines with paper title label ruled in brown and titled in black; top edges gilt, others untrimmed. All volumes are in very good condition except for the first volume. No doubt, this prominent well-heeled Texan might showcase this rare signed edition to his friends. See photos. Still, a signature by Sir Doyle and this entire set will NOT lose its value. Starting off with a slightly discounted starting price because the first volume is pulling away from the spine. But an incredible and rare find. The definitive edition, designed to succeed the 1903 Author's edition. Previous to this, there was no comprehensive collected edition of Doyle's works. Free shipping and full insurance within the U.S. International buyers - please ask for a shipping quote as 3-4 boxes will be necessary.

Description: Limited edition signed by Arthur Conan Doyle on the limitation at the front of the first volume, copy #181 of 760 thus. Complete in 24 volumes. Bound in publisher's brown boards lettered in gilt with a cream colored cloth backstrip, paper title labels, top edges gilt. Fine, internally bright and clean, a little of the typical offsetting to spine cloth, in remarkable examples of the mostly plain dust jackets, nearly all of which are Fine. A few have minor shelf wear; vol. VII alone is of lesser condition, worn head, two small stains, and a few repairs to verso. The condition of this set-- especially its fragile dust jackets-- is really something else. One would be very hard pressed to find a better surviving example. The complete fictional works of British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, famous for creating Sherlock Holmes, but also a writer in numerous genres like science fiction, supernatural fiction, and fantasy.

Description: First complete collected edition, number 250 of 760 numbered sets signed by the author in volume I, handsomely bound. The collection includes 20 novels, 161 short stories, and his autobiography, Memories and Adventures. The Crowborough Edition - named after the Sussex town where Doyle's home, Windlesham, was located - has double the number of volumes of the Author's Edition of 1903. Doyle had already signed sheets for it but his illness and death on 7 July 1930 prevented him seeing final publication of the work, and so it belongs to that select category, the posthumous signed limited edition. The introductions are reprinted from the Author's Edition, and the text is set from the existing editions without any corrections. Green & Gibson A61. 24 volumes, octavo. Attractively bound in recent dark blue morocco, burgundy morocco labels, spines with gilt centre tools, raised bands, sides ruled in gilt, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt, others untrimmed. Photogravure frontispiece portrait by Pirie MacDonald to Volume I. The occasional minor blemish, an excellent set.
