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.
