First separate book appearances of these two stories anywhere. Eastern Book Co. published its Case of Identity and Scandal in Bohemia in 1894. The date of the Optimus books is uncertain, but the street address makes it likely that it took over Eastern’s premises, along with any plates that Eastern left behind.
