and tipped in to volume 1 after half-title. In 1930 Doyle signed a number of blank sheets
intended for inclusion in that year’s planned signed limited Crowborough edition of his writings.That
24 volume set was restricted to 760 copies, but the publisher (also Doubleday) had Doyle sign enough
sheets to accommodate spoilage as well as any future plans for an even more restrictive signed edition.
A total of 147 extra signed sheets survived after publication of the Crowborough edition and went
into reserve. Doyle died later in 1930, and the extra signed sheets remained unused until their discov-
ery several decades later, permitting this posthumous signed edition.
