Item description from seller

Publication: London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1937 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 1080. Condition Report Very Good. The binding remains firm and square, presenting nicely in the publisher's original cloth despite some minor age-related wear. The spine is slightly sunned with minor rubbing to the head and tail, while the boards show only light handling marks and slightly bumped corners. Internally, the text block is sound, though there is scattered foxing, most notably to the preliminary pages, endpapers, and the fore-edges of the text block, which is typical for a weighty volume of this era. The pages are otherwise clean and free of significant blemishes. Catalogue Note This substantial volume is a 1937 reprint of the celebrated 1929 omnibus edition, collecting thirty-seven of R. Austin Freeman's most famous Dr. Thorndyke investigations. Issued by Hodder and Stoughton, this edition showcases the publisher's classic oatmeal cloth binding lettered and ruled in black. The front free endpaper bears a neat contemporary ink ownership signature dated 1940. Given the book's substantial size and page count, vintage copies in this condition, with the binding intact, square, and uncracked, are increasingly uncommon on the open market. Long before modern forensic science became a staple of popular culture, R. Austin Freeman introduced readers to Dr. John Thorndyke, a pioneering medico-legal investigator who relied on meticulous logic, chemistry, and trace evidence to solve seemingly impossible crimes. This massive omnibus edition gathers thirty-seven of Thorndyke's most baffling cases into a single, comprehensive volume. A true cornerstone of golden age detective fiction, Freeman's meticulously plotted mysteries remain a masterclass in deductive reasoning and atmospheric storytelling.
