Sherlock Holmes's beloved detective stories all have their origin in notes taken by Holmes's friend and biographer, Dr. John Watson. Now, fans can peek at this precious preliminary material, from letters to newspaper articles. The scrapbook includes Watson's sketches of the paw prints discovered near the body of Sir Charles Baskerville; the address label from the gruesome parcel sent to Susan Cushing in “The Adventure of the Cardboard Box”; and Holmes's final, heartrending letter to Watson before his violent struggle with Moriarty in “The Final Problem.” All of the items are reproduced as genuine historical artifacts, complete with tears, stains, folds, and handwritten annotations—and 18 of them are in special “evidence” bags on the page, so you can remove them for a close-up look. Endorsed by the Conan Doyle estate!

Written by Sherlock Holmes’s trusted friend, this intriguing scrapbook contains the notes on which Dr. Watson’s later, more detailed, accounts are based. It includes newspaper articles, sketches, and maps, with each one reproduced as a historical artifact—complete with tears, fold marks, handwritten annotations, and stains. Glassine “evidence bags” preserve 15 of these items, so readers can easily remove and study them. Removable memorabilia includes: • Hand-drawn floor plan of the crime scene (“The Adventure of the Empty House”) where the Honorable Ronald Adair, son of the Earl of Maynooth, was killed in an apparently motiveless crime • Telegram summoning Holmes to the case of the Norwood Builder (“The Adventure of the Norwood Builder”) • Slightly torn piece of paper featuring a sequence of dancing stick men (“The Adventure of the Dancing Men”) • Crumpled notice in paper enquiring the whereabouts of Miss Violet Smith and her recently widowed mother (“The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist”)
