Description

A rare and intriguing copy, with a new address but the same spine and copyright dates, plus additional Sherlockian stories with myriad assembly defects. After Raffles comes “The Red-Headed League” and “Boscombe Valley.” Next come four pages of “Scandal in Bohemia,” with out-of-sequence pagination. Then the last nine pages of “Boscombe Valley” make a reappearance, followed by Sections I and III of “Scandal.” The final story in the volume is “A Case of Identity.” This variant is not attested in the standard bibliographies.
