Cute!

ooh, the actual text has been reproduced in some books (e.g Peter Haining's books, all twelve hundred and three of them) but it's so funny the actual miniature is going to get its own wee-print!

[Pawse]

I have this!

[Carol the Dabbler]

Can you add to what's already been said about it, Pawse?

Don't you mean "wee-pwint"?

I wish I had room to set up a miniature "221b Baker Street" Maybe I'll have to clear out a bookshelf and start in ......maybe next year after I get back from England.

They'd make nice stocking fillers for any Sherlock fan..........   

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Just waiting for it to hit Amazon.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Apparently it has -- though the cover is apparently different from the museum's book.  Compare the publisher's listing to the ones on Amazon (US) and Amazon (UK).

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

Oh! Thank you so much, Carol. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

The Amazon listings fooled me too at first, till I noticed the same photo on the publisher's site.  Apparently when they say "original format," they mean the size rather than the cover -- though that might be just a dust jacket?

 

 

[Bakerstreet Irregular]

It looks like the same little red book in some kind of packaging surrounding it.  Could be wrong there. 

[Carol the Dabbler]

It's hard to tell whether the photo is supposed to be the book itself, or a dust jacket, or packaging.  But the Amazon descriptions both say the book is "cloth-bound," and the only review to date on Amazon UK says, "It comes in a lovely gold-stamped cloth-bound package, with an attractive and informative booklet."

 

[Pawse]

It's the most adorable little book ever!

[Ruthyone]

It is so cute!  :D
