Nearly everyone has heard of Sherlock Holmes.
Far
fewer people have ever held one of the original magazines that introduced the
world’s most famous detective to his readers.
Long
before television adaptations, movies, and paperback collections, Sherlock
Holmes lived in the pages of The Strand Magazine. Readers eagerly
awaited the latest adventure from Baker Street, often discussing the stories
much the way modern audiences talk about hit television shows today.
Today,
original Strand magazines containing Sherlock Holmes stories
are among the most desirable pieces of literary history a collector can own.
And
it’s not just because of the stories.
