First edition of this collection of Sherlock Holmes mysteries. Octavo, original publisher’s binding, illustrated, frontispiece portrait of the author. In good condition. Uncommon.
The Adventures and Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes contain such famous and memorable tales as "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band." Of special note is the last case in the Memoirs, "The Final Problem," in which Holmes apparently meets his death in a struggle with "the Napoleon of crime," Professor Moriarty. "At one point, tiring of the detective, Doyle attempted to exterminate him… but the clamor of his admirers forced him to resurrect Holmes for several further volumes, and his popularity has waned little since" (Benet, 273).
