The Hound of the Baskervilles is not merely one of the most famous of all Sherlock Holmes novels but also one of the great Edwardian novels. Beloved and well-regarded from its first publication and truly one of the most attractive books ever published, copies that remain in such condition, as in this instance, are very uncommon. A fine 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 black and white illustrations by Sidney Paget, bookseller's embossed stamp to front free endpaper, else unmarked internally; publisher's red cloth, decoration and titles to upper board in black and gold and to spine gilt, spine ends slightly bumped, minor spotting to edges;, an unusually sharp copy.
Green & Gibson A26a.
