[light age-toning to page edges, previous owner's name plus date & place of purchase in ink at top of front endpaper; also NOTE that the book is encased in a protective plastic cover, which is removable if desired (I have scanned the book with the cover in place)]. Trade PB (B&W photographs, facsimiles) "In a fascinating study, [the author] deals with the lesser-knwon areas of Conan Doyle's life: up to the age of twenty-three, when the publication of his first novel, 'Micah Clarke,' and the simultaneous debut of Holmes and Watson in 'A Study in Scarlet' made him a literary celebrity. It is a journey which takes the reader from Conan Doyle's bleak childhood as the son of a talented but difficult alcoholic, through his Jesuit education and medical training, to his experiences at sea as a ship's doctor." .
