I used to have this edition and LOVED this cover.

Guilty as charged: Now and then, a Holmes ends up in my tbr. That's right, Conan Doyle definitely belongs on the list of top crime authors like Christie, Chandler, Hammett, and Mankell.

Love that 60s cover. Who was the publisher?

futurerevisited.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yes, very fond of that cover too - I thought originally it was late 60s but the edition is dated 1963. Publisher is a little known one to me - John Murray Paperbacks (then based in Abermarle St in London)

New one on me too. Was thinking either Fontana or Panther, maybe Sphere lol.
