Description

Sought-after 24-volume 'Crowborough Edition' of Conan Doyle's works—including all of Sherlock Holmes

Signed book set: The Crowborough Edition of The Works of Arthur Conan Doyle (24 volumes complete). Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran & Company, 1930. Limited edition, numbered 750/760 (750 numbered sets, plus 10 for presentation). Boldly signed on the colophon of the first volume in fountain pen, "A. Conan Doyle." Hardcovers bound in half-cloth with gilt-stamped brown boards, 6 x 9, containing 20 novels, 161 short stories—including the entirety of the Sherlock Holmes stories—and one autobiography written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: VG/None overall, with light sunning to spines and a small stain to the bottom of the signed volume's front board.

The desirable 'Crowborough Edition' is a comprehensive collection of Conan Doyle's literary output, named after his residence in Crowborough, England. In addition to being signed by the author, this edition is notable for its inclusion of both his famous Sherlock Holmes stories along with lesser-known works, providing an essentially complete overview of his contributions to literature.
