Peter Stern, writing in the forword to The Marvin P. Epstein Sherlock Holmes Collection published in 1985 said, One of the best examples of what it means to be a collector is that even now, as we are selling his collection, Marvin Epstein has barely slowed his buying. He still expresses interest in the unique, still buys the edition he doesnt have, still replaces the uninscribed copy with the inscribed one, and still pores through the odd item searching for hidden Sherlockian content. I think that one of the things he has liked best about collecting in this field was that he could never really finish, and one of his great satisfactions has been in the discovery of the unknown. A spectacular copy of a scarce Arthur Conan Doyle title which was edited and introduced by John Michael Gibson and Richard Lancelyn Green.
