Sauk City, WI: Mycroft & Moran, 1952. First edition. Near fine in very good plus jacket.. First printing of these three collected adventures of the sub-Sherlockian detective Solar Pons. This third Pontine collection, issued by an imprint of Derleth's own Arkham House, was prematurely advertised as "quite possibly the last Solar Pons pastiches I shall write;" happily for his readers, the detective persisted for another twenty years and more. This volume's stories include: The Adventure of the Rydberg Numbers, The Adventure of the Remarkable Worm, and The Adventure of the Camberwell Beauty. 7.5'' x 5''. Original black cloth with gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($2.50) dust jacket by Ronald Clyne. 112 pages. Colophon states edition of 2000 copies, but actually one of 996 (see Jaffery). Though no provenance markings, this copy from the library of the noted actor and Sherlockian Curtis Armstrong. Jacket sunned at spine with moderate toning and edgewear. Offsetting to endpapers.

The third collection of Solar Pons stories, and the shortest (unless you count those that only have one story). Also the scarcest Mycroft and Moran book Derleth published, with just over half the printrun of any other The cornerstone item for an M&M collection: the colophon states 2000 copies, but all records indicate that 996 is a much more accurate number. Derleth expected to stop writing Pons stories with this volume: sadly, the better Holmes pastiches he thought were coming proved to be less than wonderful. DW is slightly rubbed on spine edges, unclipped, in a new mylar jacket protector; gold printing on spine is dull rather than bright, as seems standard for this volume. Very slight gutter toning from endpaper glue in back. A copy for all but the most finicky collector. More photos upon request.

Square tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. Remarkably well preserved. Sharp unclipped dust- jacket, ($2.50), has some mild toning to edges. Fresh and with no creases, chipping or tears. The 3rd of Derleth's collection of stories paying homage to Sherlock Holmes after "In Re: Sherlock Holmes" and "The Memoirs of Solar Pons". Though the colophon states that 2000 copies were printed, the number was almost certainly 996, (Thirty Years of Arkham House, Derleth, 1970 pg.81), making it one of the most uncommon Arkham titles and certainly the toughest Solar Pons title. A beautiful, collectable copy and scarce in such high-grade condition. (Hubin, p.115).
