Description: The Adventure of Detective Barney Author: O'Higgins, Harvery J. Title: The Adventure of Detective Barney Publication: New York: The Century Company, 1915 Edition: 1st Edition Description: Cloth. Near Fine/Fine / Good/Very Good. 12mo., 305pp. Beautiful First Edition of this anthology of stories featuring a boy detective. Bound in publisher's original blue cloth with titles stamped in orange gilt on front board and spine. Illustrations, including frontispiece by Henry Raleigh. This may be a first state binding without the illustration on the front board. Square, tight and clean throughout with just a touch of bumping to spine ends and a hint of wear at the tips, but barely. No foxing and little or no toning to page edges. Remarkably fresh, bright and well-preserved showing the dust-jacket really did its job. Solid and quite uncommon, unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.00), has soiling, a couple of closed tears and a couple of tiny chips. Folds and crown have been reinforced with tape on the reverse so its shadow shows through in a couple of spots. But still complete and very attractive. A very pleasing collectable copy and difficult to find in such high-grade condition and nearly impossible in the jacket. (Hubin, p.303) (Queen: The Detective Short Story, p.78).
