Sobre este artículo
Bloomington, IN: Gaslight Publications, 1983. Hardcover. 12mo. Full terra cotta leatherette with gilt lettering, ornate rules and decoration. 253pp. Numerous illustrations, maps, map endpapers. Near fine. Superb and tight first edition of Hammer's first book -- a Sherlockian travel extravaganza, boldly inscribed and signed "With the compliments / of the author -- / David Hammer" in black ballpoint on half-title page. Hammer (1929-2018) was a Dubuque, Iowa attorney and hardcore respected Sherlockian who carved a second career writing and publishing 26 volumes of nonfiction, poetry and two novels. A quite uncommon title, especially signed.
