GILLETTE, William. The Astounding Crime on Torrington Road [SHERLOCK HOLMES INTEREST] [HOLLYWOOD NOVEL]. New York: Harper and Brothers, 1927.

Early Printing, with K-B code at copyright page in original dustjacket that differs from the first issue jacket by listing different titles at rear panel. Plug at front panel of jacket states: 'The Sherlock Holmes of the Stage'. Very uncommon title. 'The murder of young Michael Haworth, just after he has sold the rights in his remarkable motion picture invention to a shady company of promoters'. Very Good in dustjacket with red water color number 2 inside a box at front panel (a William Gillette scholar has indicated that this is the way Gillette marked his manuscripts, and thus this is likely Gillette's own note), some shallow edge chips, otherwise Very Good.

Price: $450.00
