This beautiful, like-new hardcover is tight, square, and unmarked. The dust jacket is pristine, with brown boards and bright gilt lettering on the spine. This edition holds particular appeal for Sherlock Holmes enthusiasts due to Sidney Paget's iconic illustrations, which shaped the visual image of Holmes for generations, including his trademark deerstalker hat and pipe. These stories cover some of the most famous Holmes mysteries, such as A Scandal in Bohemia, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Final Problem. This book is often appreciated for maintaining the historical context and authenticity of Doyle's original writings and for offering readers a visual window into the Victorian world of Sherlock Holmes through Paget's detailed and atmospheric illustrations.
