Irregular Records of the Early ‘Forties.
Edited by Jon L. Lellenberg.
The third volume of the BSI archival-history series opens with the January 1941 BSI Dinner and continues through early March 1944. Edgar W. Smith became the driving force behind the BSI, and Vincent Starrett wrote his immortal sonnet “221B.” This volume includes Smith’s notices, minutes, and memoranda for the BSI as well as Irregular correspondence and other reports.
It also provides a profile of Edgar W. Smith, an account of The Pamphlet House and early BSI publications, and a report on the birth of the Hounds of the Baskerville (sic).
312 pages, 8.5″ x 5.5″ paperback, 1991.
