DOYLE, Arthur Conan (1859-1930). The Hound of the Baskervilles. New York: Grosset & Dunlap, n.d. [ca. 1922]. 8vo. Frontispiece and 4 illustrations by Sidney Paget. Publisher?s full red cloth, front board and spine stamped in white (spine rubbed and creased, some edgewear, soiling to boards); original printed dust jacket, with text on verso (some edgewear, chipping, a few tears, spine toned). FIRST PHOTOPLAY EDITION in the scarce jacket. On the dust jacket: ?This Is a Scene from the F. B. O. Photoplay of This Story?. A near fine example of what is perhaps the rarest Sherlock Holmes-related photoplay (this is based on the silent version of this story from 1921, directed by Maurice Elvey, starring Eille Norwood as Holmes).
