Beyond the City
Chicago: E.A. Weeks & Company, [ca. 1893-1895]. Very Good. Item #12693
Chicago: E.A. Weeks & Company, [ca. 1893-1895]. 16mo (6.25" x 4.25"); 180pp. Brick cloth with silver lettering and border. Boards lightly rubbed at corners and spine ends, with a few faint scuffs and smudges to surface and some darkening to spine. Pages toning, moreso along edges. Opens a bit easily in places, but binding is secure. Pages unmarked.
A non-Holmes satirical novella; one of a number of unofficial American editions. Green & Gibson write, "No American edition has been described [in their bibliography], as none has a clear priority. Munro, Neely, Lupton, Ogilvie, Rand McNally, and Weeks all issued the book towards the end of 1893 or shortly after." This copy lacks the author's name stamped in silver on front of Weeks's Handy Volume series [1895], though the rest of the lettering and ornamentation are the same, albeit on a brighter shade of cloth.
[Green & Gibson A13].
