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.

Description:
This is a collection of works by G. K. Chesterton, author, poet, artist and literary and art critic. As a mystery writer, he created the Father Brown series. This book contains, as stated inside the dust jacket, "...the things you would have got from Chesterton had you been his week-end guest. There are fairy-stories with his own illustrations, comic verse, satirical ballads, caricatures of himself, an Introduction to the Study of Demonology, fantastic pictures in many colours, black and white illustrations of curious themes." This book was published two years after Chesterton's death and contains some material not previously published. The first page of the table of contents is shown in photo #9, it runs for two and a half pages. As stated, there are many illustrations in black and white and a few in color, some of which might not fit into today's politically correct world. The book shows wear at the corners, with clean and intact pages and a previous owner's nameplate on the front endpaper.…

Description:
This is the complete set of four rather rare science fiction anthologies. The collection of short stories by a variety of well-known science fiction writers follows a common theme and ties together by the end of the fourth volume. The books all have wear at the edges and corners. One and two have a spine crease while one and three have small tears at the bottom of the spine where it meets the covers. In all, the pages are clean and tight with minimal tanning. These are Berkley Medallion books N2828, N2864, N3022, and N3077, all with a 95¢ cover price. Each is rare on its own and even rarer to find a complete set.
