| Description: |
A fine edition for the price of an ordinary hardback. For anyone interested in a beautiful volume of Sherlock Holmes, this edition of his Holmes's cases has colourful cloth covers by leading illustrator Michael Kirkham, plus coloured page-tops, printed endpapers, elegant typesetting, a marker ribbon and thick, acid-free paper. 2009 is the 150th anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's birth. |
| Synopsis: |
This edition combines 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' with Arthur Conan Doyle's own favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, and an introduction by his acclaimed biographer Andrew Lycett. The cover design is by Michael Kirkham, one of today's most admired illustrators. This clothbound edition is part of a series of readers' best-loved classics published in fine volumes, produced to the highest standards for under twenty pounds: making it an affordable luxury. Instead of a dust jacket, the decorated cloth covers have a printed illustration wrapping around the book. Coloured page tops, decorated endpapers, meticulous line-by-line typesetting and thick acid-free paper are among the elements that differ from a standard hardback, to embody the virtues of a good book. The result is quality of design and production that adds to the pleasure of reading and makes each book a desirable object in itself. For anyone interested in a fine edition of a favourite work, this is an attractive volume for the bookshelf or an authentic and distinctive present. |

From the author of 'The White Tiger'.

White Egrets
A collection of poems that treats such subjects as - the Caribbean's complex colonial legacy, the Western artistic tradition, the blessings and withholdings of old Europe (Andalucia, the Mezzogiorno, Amsterdam), the unaccomodating sublime of the new world, time's cunning passages, and the poet's place in all of this.
