Norwalk, Connecticut: Easton Press, 2015. Limited edition. Hardcover. New in publisher's box and shrink wrap. Octavo (8½" x 11¾"), 192pp. Bound in genuine leather and accented with 22k gold. This exclusive leather-bound volume brings to life the wonderful worlds of Sherlock Holmes: the characters, the villains, the author, the history in film and television, and much more. Beginning with an overview of Arthur Conan Doyle's extraordinary life, these pages take the reader into the fog-bound London of Jack the Ripper, explore Doyle's use of then cutting-edge forensic science, chronicle Sherlock Holmes life in print and later in film and television, examine Holmes' crucial influence on the genre. The world of Sherlock Holmes is made visible in 150 full-color and vintage black & white images that include photographs of Victorian and Edwardian period weapons, doctor's equipment, and newspaper articles, rare Holmes memorabilia such as chess sets, cigarette cards, and commemorative stamps, and a century of movie and TV stills and posters. The images spring to life on a specially selected coated paper that is acid neutral to last for a life time. Gilded page ends, moire fabric end sheets and a satin ribbon page marker. Bound in USA. Includes Easton Press Ex Libris.
