Hardback. Zustand: Very Good - See Description. First Edition Thus. 1898. First bound edition. 804pp. and many black and white illustrations from photographs and various artists. All edges gilt. The Strand Magazine was the first of the major popular illustrated sixpenny monthlies and ran from 1891 to 1950. It featured articles on almost every subject and the editors selected the best short fiction available throughout Europe and America, along with emerging British talent. The magazine is probably best known for introducing Sherlock Holmes to the public. The bound volumes in the publisher's original blue cloth binding are now sought after. This is the sixteenth bound volume and contains the issues from July to December 1898. It includes the second to seventh of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "Round the Fire Stories" - including The Story of the Man with the Watches and The Story of the Lost Special. These are two puzzle stories in which the unnamed detective bears some resemblance to Sherlock Holmes. Other tales and articles in this volume include: an article on Lynton by J. Finnemore; underground London; making a life mask; triplets; Fishy Frolics - a story for children by Canning Williams; The Stolen Body - a short story by H.G. Wells; and The Larrikin of Diamond - a short story by E.W. Hornung. The book is bound in the publisher's original blue cloth covered bevelled boards with black titling and an illustration of The Strand on the front board and gold and black titling and designs on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling on the boards. The top corners are lightly bumped and there is heavier bumping to the bottom corners and spine ends with some damage to the cloth at the spine ends. The book has fairly recently been re-backed and re-cased in the original boards, and as a result the contents are now tight and secure with new grey endpapers. The pages are clean apart from a few scattered light marks and there is a red stain on the fore edge of parts of the text block of the first 170 or so pages that has seeped a little way into the fore margin of the pages. Pages 768 onwards have a water stain on the fore edge that is initially small and increases in size and noticeability towards the end of the book. There is light foxing to the last two pages of the index at the end of the book and heavier foxing to the half-title and title pages and the frontispiece. There is no inscription. PLEASE NOTE: This is a heavy book and extra postage may be required for delivery outside the UK. Sidney Paget, Warwick Goble, Gordon Browne and others (illustrator).…
