About This Item
A pristine copy of this classic edition from the Heritage Club. The book shows no wear that I can find other than some fading over the spine. Comes in a black slipcover which also shows no obvious wear. The pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with speckled edges. The boards are covered with patterned paper and black fabric over the spine. The front cover has a leather inset with an embossed profile image of Holmes, with pipe, but no deerstalker. Included is the Sandglass periodical that came with every Heritage Club book. This book will ship at over three pounds. Excess shipping costs are included in the list price. A rather scarce item.
