Description
Orange Judd Co. is something of an oddity. Its specialty was agricultural titles; its eponymous founder was for years the agricultural editor of the New York Times. Its edition of the Tales juggles the stories’ order of appearance and omits illustrations but introduces dramatic cover art: a red and black silhouette of Holmes examining a document with a magnifying glass. Dated 1907 on the title page, a rare occurrence, the book is extremely scarce in wrappers.
Format
In original pictorial wrappers
