Written by Sherlock Holmes\u2019s trusted friend, this intriguing scrapbook contains the notes on which Dr. Watson\u2019s 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 \u201cevidence bags\u201d preserve 15 of these items, so readers can easily remove and study them.
Removable memorabilia includes:
• Hand-drawn floor plan of the crime scene (\u201cThe Adventure of the Empty House\u201d) 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 (\u201cThe Adventure of the Norwood Builder\u201d)
• Slightly torn piece of paper featuring a sequence of dancing stick men (\u201cThe Adventure of the Dancing Men\u201d)
• Crumpled notice in paper enquiring the whereabouts of Miss Violet Smith and her recently widowed mother (\u201cThe Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist\u201d)
