201124190Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press 2011. First Edition. First Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New Dust Jacket. Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press 2011. Hardcover. As New/As New. First Edition/First Printing. 210 pages. Book-length account on subject. The second volume of Princeton University's "Writers On Writers" Series it is also the single best short book on the art and achievement of Arthur Conan Doyle of - and for - our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only by a University Press. The First Edition is now rare. Presents Michael Dirda's "On Conan Doyle Or The Whole Art of Storytelling". A sublime meditation in about 210 pages of the enduring and transformative power of great fiction. Dirda has enlarged our appreciation and admiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's body of work and not simply the timeless - and groundbreaking - Sherlock Holmes oeuvre which no less than the esteemed Harold Bloom regards as canonical. "His book is irresistible in its eager appetite for the delights of Doyle's heartfelt perfectly handled storytelling. Hence the title. Reminds us that a part of every reader is always twelve-years-old and that some of the books we devoured at twelve will nourish us splendidly half a century later" The New Republic . "Such is Dirda's enthusiasm that it is quite impossible not to be fired up. I immediately ordered 'The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes' and searched for 'Through The Magic Door' " Sydney Herald News . An absolute "must-have" title for Arthur Conan Doyle and Michael Dirda collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Michael Dirda. It is signed directly on the page itself not on a tipped-in page. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know this is the only such signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean crisp and bright. Please note: Copies available online have very serious flaws because they were read and referenced or are in multiple subsequent printings and the Softcover Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. One of the most brilliant critics of our time on one of the greatest writers of all time. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize For Distinguished Criticism in 1993. A fine copy. SEE ALSO OTHER MICHAEL DIRDA TITLE IN OUR CATALOG . ISBN 0691151350. Princeton University Press hardcover
