    Description

    A[rthur] Conan Doyle. The Valley of Fear. London: George Newnes, Sept. 1914-May 1915. Original monthly serial issue in The Strand Magazine, complete with every story that comprises The Valley of Fear. Nine volumes. Octavo (9.625 x 6.5 inches; 246 x 165 mm.). Various paginations. Numerous full-page and in-text illustrations. Publisher's original engraved light blue wrappers, printed in dark blue and red; December 1914 issue in publisher's full-color wrappers. Housed in custom clamshell, one quarter book-backed navy morocco over navy cloth; spine lettered in gilt with five raised bands. Several issues skewed; overall light, varying amounts of toning, spot-soiling and wear. Most issues appear to have been rebacked, re-jointed or otherwise have wrappers and reattached with majority of original backstrips preserved, some chipping at ends. Light toning to interiors of text blocks. Four issues with part of majority of front and rear ads lacking; three with supplied rear ads inconsistent with front ad pagination. September 1914 with two contents leaves inserted one after the other. April 1915 issue with slip torn out after contents leaf. Very good overall. Full checklist of issues available online.

    We had a wonderful time in New York during the October 2013 Historical Manuscripts auction that featured my mother’s papers collected during her tenure as Martin Luther King, Jr.’s secretary. In fact, the entire experience from beginning to end has been a pleasure.
