Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Derleth's fourth collection of stories focusing on his imitation of Sherlock Holmes, who he names Solar Pons. A 12mo or small octavo of 7-3/4 inches, one of 2,079 copies printed for Mycroft & Moran, Sauk City, Wisconsin (Derleth's home town), by Collegiate Press, George Banta Company, Menasha, Wisconsin in 1958, though most of these stories appeared in pulp detective magazines a few years earlier. Jacket front flap NOT price clipped: original $4.00 price showing. There is a rectangular brownn stain to front endpapers where it appears a sulfurous paper clipping was once laid in, however. Did young Derleth write to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, circa 1928, "courteously" asking if the master intended to write any further Holmes stories, as noted Sherlockian scholar Vincent Starrett has reported, and did Sir Arthur "make no promises in his good-natured reply." Or did Derleth in fact (unsuccessfully) seek permission to continue the Holmes stories himself, just as he was later to expand and alter the work product of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard after those pulp authors' untimely demise -- "posthumous collaborations" which Lovecraft biographer S.T.Joshi has branded "disreputable"? This collection includes The Adventures of the Devil's Footprints, of the Grice-Paterson Curse, of the Penny Magenta, of the Trained Cormorant, nine others. 261 pp. Jacket by Frank Utpatel (illustrator).…

Is that true, though? Or did Derleth unsucessfully seek permission to continue the Holmes stories himself, just as he was later to expand and alter the work product of H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E.
