The door is fully functional, so you can grab the knob and open it, only to be greeted by the very representation of Sherlock in form of a book. Once you take the book out, you’ll notice that the bottom of the box features a wallpaper pattern that, again, pays homage to the one in Sherlock’s home, but also featuring a hidden surprise there as well.The book is bound in the finest brown goatskin leather, featuring a spine blocked in gold foil and a magnifying glass blocked into the front cover. But it’s not there just for show, because you can take it out and use it as you read the book. This will be particularly useful when you reach each of the illustrations, because they hold numerous details that are difficult to observe with a naked eye.Once you open the book, you’ll be met by handmade marbled endpapers done by our marbling department. They are inspired by the tartan pattern designed specially for this edition by Manuel Šumberac, who has also illustrated all the artwork, including the drop caps, for this title. The illustrations for this edition are truly remarkable, something that we have never done before. Since this is a short story collection, it made no sense to look for key plot points; instead the idea was to boil down the whole story into a singular illustration, which offered a “blueprint” of the story expressed artistically. Each illustration contains the key elements of the story, which is intended to beckon the reader to return and give it another look to better understand the story.As you go through the chapters, you’ll see there are beautiful themed drop caps designed for each story, as well as the unique title for each of them. Once you need a break from reading, you can use the bookmark shaped like a magnifying glass, but is fully functional as well, because it has a plastic lens with 3x magnification, providing you with a secondary magnifying lens.As previously mentioned, the whole run has 26 lettered and signed copies, with a few additional publisher’s copies for the key participants of the projects that will never go to sale, making this a true rarity.Additionally: The main magnifying glass magnetizes to the front of the book.On the side there is a secret compartment with additional prints, marbled endpaper and some of the original letterpress!Inside there is hidden a unique pen and journal, nicely tucked away.This will ship in its original packaging.
