SIGNED by the author on the title page. A collection of seven Holmes pastiches, the second such book by this author, the conceit here being that the stories were "allegedly written by Dr. John Watson [and] were discovered in the battered despatch box deposited at his bank, Cox and Co." ("Aubrey B. Watson" was the purported inheritor of the manuscripts, bequeathed to her by an uncle who also happened to be named John Watson, which coincidence led to his obtaining the box in question.)
