Arthur Conan Doyle The Parasite A Novel By Conan Doyle ‘The Acme Library’ in Original Paper Cover First Edition 1894
The First Edition is selling this very rare Arthur Conan Doyle true first edition of The Parasite published by The Acme Library in 1894. This is a rare opportunity to own the original and true first edition in the original state with the green paper covers blocked and titled in dark blue
In ‘A Bibliography of A. Conan Doyle’ by Green & Gibson (page 84) it is stated:
“Sadleir says of The Acme Library: “This series was not a success. A big price was paid for the copyright of the story and a correspondingly large edition printed, with the result that a considerable balance of sheets was left on the publisher’s hands.“
Making the true First UK Edition First Issue from the Acme Library with the paper covers extremely scarce
The covers are in a Good condition with losses, marks and creases to the front back and spine – but mostly present and still very attractive with all text present and clear
There are 124 numbered pages with a rubber stamp to the top of the Title Page that has rubbed off onto the opposite blank page which is the reverse to the Half Title Page. The binding is delicate but still attached together.
This is a lovely example of this near impossible to find Arthur Conan Doyle true first edition of The Parasite from the Acme Library
