Arthur Conan Doyle Signed Ltd. Ed. Book - The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Vol. I Signed book: The Complete Sherlock Holmes, Vol. I. First edition, limited issue, numbered 9[1]/147. NY: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1953. Hardcover, 5.75 x 8.5, 555 pages. Signed on the colophon in fountain pen, "A. Conan Doyle." Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: G/None, with warping and light staining to boards, a hole affecting the second number in the limitation, a few dog-eared pages, rubbing and flaking to the leather spine, and an overall musty odor. This scarce edition was prepared using left-over signed limitation leaves used in the production of the Crowborough edition of Doyle's Works (1930), and signed shortly before his death in that same year; in spite of this missing second volume, this is a desirable Conan Doyle autograph book, featuring some of his most famous detective stories: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.
