Description
The first Canadian issue of the Hound was published by Morang contemporaneously with McClure’s US edition, priced at $1.25. It looks much like its American cousin but features some illustrations not in the UK or US editions. This copy belonged to Chicago newspaperman, bibliophile, and Sherlockian scholar and collector Vincent Starrett. His bookplate is on the inside front cover and his ownership signature on the front free endpaper.
