Description
This blue binding with its stamped gold titling and two gryphons in an elaborate motif makes this book appear new, but it isn’t. Inside, the textblock is identical to that in the adjacent brown clothbound Raffles | Study. The book is copyrighted 1891 and has the imprint of the United States Book Company on its title and copyright pages. Raffles Haw, “The Red-Headed League,” and “The Boscombe Valley Mystery” appear with sequential pagination, followed by A Study in Scarlet, starting out of sequence.
