In Re: Sherlock Holmes (Signed First Edition)

Sauk City: Mycroft & Moran, 1945. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine / Fine. Item #013254

8vo., 238pp. Sharp First Edition. One of 3000 copies printed, though 3604 copies were actually published, (Jaffrey p.23). Square tight and clean throughout with little or no wear save some softness to the heel. Equally attractive clipped Ronald Clyne dust-jacket has a touch of wear to spine ends but is fresh and bright with no creases, chipping or tears. Terrific generic inscription by Derleth on the front endpaper, "Greetings from a latter day Baker Street. Canonically, August Derleth". Contains 12 stories that comprise the first Solar Pons collection; a Sherlock Holmes pastiche. Foreword by Vincent Starrett. A gorgeous collectable copy at a great price.
