Signed

Offered here is a signed hardcover copy of The Last Case of Sherlock Holmes: Ivy Johnson Bull of Borley by noted Sherlockian scholar Trevor H. Hall, published in 1986 by Paulette Greene (Rockville Centre, New York). This copy is signed by Trevor H. Hall beneath the frontispiece portrait. The signature is authentic and well placed, consistent with known examples of the author’s autograph. In addition, the book bears a handwritten presentation inscription reading: “For dearest Mother, presented with pride & love — Paulette.” This inscription is almost certainly by Paulette Greene, the publisher, making this a publisher presentation copy, which adds an extra layer of provenance and collector interest beyond a standard signed example. The book itself is a respected work of Sherlock Holmes scholarship, focusing on the Ivy Johnson / Borley case and associated historical analysis. Titles from this small press are increasingly difficult to find, particularly signed. Condition: Very good overall. Binding is solid, pages are clean and unmarked, and the signature and inscription are clear and bold. Light, typical shelf wear only. Please review photos for exact condition details. Highlights: • Author signed by Trevor H. Hall • Publisher presentation inscription • 1986 first edition from a small Sherlockian press • Scarcer signed example with added provenance • Ideal for Sherlock Holmes collectors and mystery literature libraries
