London, George Newnes, 1902
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.
