A Study in Scarlet

"The famous first meeting between Dr. John H. Watson and Mr. Sherlock Holmes in A STUDY IN SCARLET has greater reality for connoisseurs of the detective story than Stanley's first encounter with Livingstone. Here is that incomparable moment in detective fiction, as it is described in the opening pages of their first recorded adventure together-an adventure which begins at Number 3, Lauriston Gardens ... This volume also contains the second of the Homes stories, THE SIGN OF FOUR. If you are reading Holmes for the first time, you will soon be under the spell. If you are an old fan, you will welcome an opportunity to renew acquaintance with the great man-witty, eternally fascinating."--BOOK COVER.
