Baskerville Books Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes Catalogue Forrester - October 2017 (Amended July 2019) Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes - Catalogue Forrester You will find listed below around 250 original works by Doyle, as well as adaptations and contributions to other works. You will also find images of every book on our web site: www.baskervillebooks.co.uk In many cases there is only one copy of each book so please contact me by e-mail first regarding the books you would like to buy, quoting the Reference number at the end of each entry. I will then provide a quote, including postage and packing, for those which are still available. Books will be dispatched by the cheapest Royal Mail option unless otherwise instructed; I recommend 'insured' or 'signed for' for more expensive items. Once I have confirmation that you are happy to proceed I will raise a PayPal invoice. My preferred method is PayPal as it is quick, easy, supports credit and debit card payments, and I don't need to request any of your financial details. Good hunting! Grading Books Fine: Almost like new. VG: Clearly second-hand but with no major imperfections. G: Complete, but with clear signs of wear and use. Reading or reference copies are sometimes offered, particularly of scarcer items. These will have major faults but will contain the entire text. Dustwrappers Fine: Almost like new. VG: Complete but with minor imperfections (e.g. small tears or creases). G: Complete but with more substantive faults (e.g. bad creasing, large tears, or pieces missing). Other terms used DW: Dustwrapper. +: Not quite the grade above, but close! I try to grade the books as fairly as possible, but one person's small tear is another's gaping chasm. I may simply have missed something. So, if you are dissatisfied with the description of any item, please contact me in the first instance ([email protected]) and we'll sort something out. All dustwrappers are supplied in a removable protective cover. And if it doesn't say it is a First Edition, it isn't.
