Just arrived today from Better World Books. Ex-library copy appears brand new and unread except for maybe being cracked open to check for pictures.
Contains mostly unpublished and uncollected stories.

Nah I'll use sticky tape. Its not a precious book, just a reading copy.

Finally the third book from Abebooks arrived.
Read it years ago, pre internet days. In fact I remember reading The Sentinel with my sister.

And The Moonstone is a good read all right, a good "entry" novel into the enormous wealth of the 19th-century novel for a lot of people. The villain with the pet white mice crawling over him is a classic baddie. No mice here, and not nearly fat enough:

It's a long time since I read it. Maybe The Woman in White is a better bet. The opening of that one I do remember. Somehow it's kind of fascinating, this rural scene with the prospect of London, and the idea of walking the night and being in the city by morning -- something like that.

My other half treated herself to this humungous dog book.
Weighs a flipping ton!
Woof!
