[SMITH, Edgar W. (1894-1960), editor]. The Baker Street Journal, [complete runs for 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959, including Christmas Annuals, and two other Journal issues]. Morristown: Baker Street Irregulars, 1956-1960.
8vos. Publisher’s printed wrappers (some wear, thumbsoiling, toning). Each year consists of 4 quarterly issues and 1 Christmas Annual; also included is the Christmas Annual for 1960, and the rare Volume One, Number Two of the New Series (April 1951). The first series (known as the “old series”) consisted of 13 issues and ran from 1946-1949; this series proved to be too expensive to continue, so the “New Series” was begun at a lower cost. These issues would be produced in no more than 200 copies. The Baker Street Journal is considered the leading periodical devoted to Sherlockian scholarship; it is still being published to this day.
