Description
Ward, Lock held the copyright for Study in Scarlet, but Newnes printed excerpts anyway.
Tit-Bits was the Reader’s Digest of its era, containing “tit-bits from all the most interesting books, periodicals and contributors in the world.” It was the financial success of Tit-Bits that gave Newnes the capital to start the Strand. Volume 24, No. 602, April 29, 1893, included portions of Part 1, Chapters 6 and 7, from the Study; a portion of Part 2, Chapter 4, appeared a month later.
