Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes - Catalogue Garrideb

Welcome to my first Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes catalogue of 2019. You will find around 380 works discussing the Sherlock Holmes stories and Conan Doyle including reference works, comparative studies, and biographies. You will also find images of every book on our web site:

www.baskervillebooks.co.uk

In many cases there is only one copy of each book so please contact me by e-mail first regarding the books you would like to buy, quoting the Reference number at the end of each entry. I will then provide a quote, including postage and packing, for those which are still available. Books will be dispatched by the cheapest Royal Mail option unless otherwise instructed; I recommend 'insured' and/or 'signed for' for more expensive items. Once I have confirmation that you are happy to proceed I will raise a PayPal invoice. My preferred method is PayPal as it is quick, easy, supports credit and debit card payments, and I don't need to request or store any of your financial details.

Good hunting!

Grading

Books

Fine: Almost like new.

VG: Clearly second-hand but with no major imperfections.

G: Complete, but with clear signs of wear and use.

Reading or reference copies are sometimes offered, particularly of scarcer items. These will have major faults but will contain the entire text.

Dustwrappers

Fine: Almost like new.

VG: Complete but with minor imperfections (e.g. small tears or creases).

G: Complete but with more substantive faults (e.g. bad creasing, large tears, or pieces missing).

Other terms used

DW: Dustwrapper.

+: Not quite the grade above, but close!

I try to grade the books as fairly as possible, but one person's small tear is another's gaping chasm. I may simply have missed something. So, if you are dissatisfied with the description of any item, please contact me in the first instance (info@baskervillebooks.co.uk) and we'll sort something out. All dustwrappers are supplied in a removable protective cover. And if it doesn't say it is a First Edition, it isn't.
