New York, NY: Paddington Press, 1978. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. VG-/Good. Oblong. With a Holmesian investigation into the strange and curious case of Charles Altamont Doyle.'' Lovely book replete with old-fashioned drawings to illustrate the diary of Arthur Conan Doyle's father while he was confined at the Montrose Royal Lunatic Asylum in Scotland in 1889. Oblong hardcover with cream cloth-covered boards is in VG condition: very clean & tight, binding tight & square, NO writing, underlining, or highlighting. NOT ex-lib. Flaws: 1) moderate page tanning, heavy around outer edges, 2) paper residue stuck to front end paper under front DJ flap where this was glued to book & tore. The unclipped DJ is downgraded to Good due to modest edgewear all around, & a large missing chip from top outer corner of front cover, as well as residue of old price sticker here. somewhat shaken, slight corner bumping.
