First edition, 2 volumes, first title in first issue state with blank street sign to vignette of upper board. Large 8vo, all edges gilt, both volumes illustrated throughout by Sidney Paget. Publisher's light blue and dark blue cloth gilt respectively. Spines very lightly rolled, gilt to spines perhaps a little rubbed BUT a distinctly superior set of the definitional volumes of Holmseian short stories.

Minor repair to gutter of the frontispiece, a little shaken, one plate reinserted. A decent copy nonetheless.
