Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

New York: A.L. Burt, 1922. Reissue. Hardcover. n.d. [c.1922] 8vo. Original pictorial light grey cloth. Dust-jacket. The second Holmes story collection (1893), closing with 'The Final Problem,' in which Holmes apparently dies fighting Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls - a twist that provoked public outcry and forced Doyle to revive the character a decade later. Cloth slightly softened at spine ends, but overall very good; jacket slightly rubbed with small chip to top edge of front panel and small closed tear to top edge of rear panel, but an attractive example. Very good
