Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Near fine. First Edition. In Derleth's introductory note, he says these may be the last Solar Pons stories he would write. That planned pause didn't last very long and these stories were republished in The Return of Solar Pons in 1958 along with other new installments in this Sherlock Holmes pastiche…series. 996 copies (although the colophon says 2000). Joshi, Eighty Years of Arkham House, M&M 4. Jaffrey, The Arkham House Companion, 44. First edition (first and only printing). A fine copy in a very near fine dust jacket with a bit of tanning to the white spine lettering and along the top edge of the rear jacket panel. With the Lovecraft-inspired letterpress bookplate of the James Strand estate on the front pastedown. This copy came from the important Arkham House collection assembled by James Strand of Portland, Oregon. After his death, in August 2023, his house was looted and most of his books were stolen. Some were subsequently recovered by the FBI. This book was among those not taken by thieves.

Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 12mo., 281pp. Gorgeous First Printing of one of the rarer M&M/Arkham titles. Square tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. Remarkably well preserved. Sharp unclipped dust- jacket, ($2.50), has some mild toning to edges. Fresh and with no creas…es, chipping or tears. The 3rd of Derleth's collection of stories paying homage to Sherlock Holmes after "In Re: Sherlock Holmes" and "The Memoirs of Solar Pons". Though the colophon states that 2000 copies were printed, the number was almost certainly 996, (Thirty Years of Arkham House, Derleth, 1970 pg.81), making it one of the most uncommon Arkham titles and certainly the toughest Solar Pons title. A beautiful, collectable copy and scarce in such high-grade condition. (Hubin, p.115).
