Just a quick update as we approach the end of the campaign. The big news is that we have met our stretch goal!!! That means the book Sherlock Holmes: Crimes for Christmas will include artistic chapter headers and some internal artwork. The book looks amazing with the additional pieces and will be perfect for the yuletide season. If you know of other Sherlockians, this book will make a great holiday gift!
To keep the momentum going through the end of the campaign, we've added a second stretch goal.
Stretch Goal #2 - If the campaign reaches $5,000 in pledges, all backers will receive an eBook copy of the lost mystery classic, The Astounding Crime on Torrington Road, written by the greatest actor to play Holmes on stage, William Gillette.
This book had been out of print for nearly 100 years, but Belanger Books in association with the Friends of Gillette Castle created an all new edition of the book. This edition includes forewords by Derrick Belanger, BSI and Paul Schiller who is sometimes called Mr. Gillette Castle for his extensive knowledge of the castle and of William Gillette, himself. The book also includes rare photographs from the Gillette Castle archive.
Help us reach our funding goal and get a digital copy of this incredible mystery which I consider one of the all-time greatest noir books, and in the top 100 books of the 20th century.
