III:36R). --- Paper-covered boards feature 'VR' pattern in bullet holes, after the cypher of Queen Victoria, (or Victoria Regina); a nod to Holmes's tendency to " . . . sit in an arm chair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V. R. done in bullet pocks." NOTE: This volume lacks the black cover relief image of Mr. Holmes, as found on some Heritage Press issuances in this series. Spine in black cloth w/gilt-stamped titling. Slipcase covered in black paper. --- With darkened spine, else a tightly--bound, bright copy.
