Vincent All description

Vincent Starrett. THE PRIVATE LIFE OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. Illustrated by photographs. new York: Macmillan, 1933. First edition, first printing. Publisher's gilt blue cloth with design of Holmes framed on cover. Chicago Renaissance author Vincent Starrett's best known work, later reissued by the University of Chicago Press in what is considered an inferior edition. A fine, unmarked, bright hardcover book in the rare dust jacket which remains very good  with a small spine chip not affecting text. There small internal archival tissue reinforcements to the inner edges, not visible from the front, as the jacket was made on rather thin paper and the previous owner lacked plastic covering and wanted to preserve the jacket as much as possible (s/he succeeded, as one may judge from the pictures). Price-clipped, obviously by a later bookseller for resale; otherwise a better than very good, clean jacket in a Brodart cover. Extremely rare in a dust jacket in any condition.

The scantily clad and debatably crazy rider was a man by the name of Roland “Rollie” Free. The bike, often thought by many to be a Vincent Black Shadow, was in fact a Black Lightning – the fastest Vincent ever to see production.
