It is possible — who am I kidding? — It is an ironclad bet that the Sherlockians gathered in New York over the next few days will find themselves in bars. Be on the lookout for this first edition under your mug!
Mr. Vincent Starrett explains, from The New Colophon, Volume 11, Part 5, January 1949.

Late last year, I had the great pleasure of speaking about Vincent Starrett and Sherlock Holmes to the Friends of the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection at the Toronto Public Library. The good people at the TPL have posted it to YouTube. My yammering starts about 18 minutes in.

Born #OTD in 1837, the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes, Joseph Bell, JP, DL, FRCSE (2 Dec 1837 – 4 Oct 1911). Had Arthur Conan Doyle never met Bell in 1877, or served as his clerk at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, there likely never would have been a Sherlock Holmes. Here’s to Joe Bell!
