Small collection of Sherlockian Scion society newsletters, including the "New Series" of the revival of the Pageboys — a "junior" Scion for Sherlockians under 21.
Near fine.
Price: $150.00
The Baker Street Pageboys was first founded in 1964 by Chris Redmond, but discontinued in 1969. In 1971, the Scion was revived by Glenn Holland and Andrew Page (then also Saltire of the Priory School of New York, and editor of their monthly journal THE HOLMESIAN OBSERVER at age 18). Its journal, THE BAKER STREET PAGES, lasted only a year, from June-July 1971 to June-July 1972; 5 of its issues are present here, including the first three (Vol. 1 Nos. 1-3 and two different Nos. 6, dated April-May 1972 and June-July 1972). Contents include brief news, reports of Scion meetings and other Sherlockian gatherings, and short articles. Vol. 1 No. 2 contains a short article on "Why Watson Wasn't a Woman" by by Katherine Karlson, a "cocktail waitress-cashier [who] returns to college in the fall." Also included in this group is two copies of the June 1972 issue of THE HOLMESIAN OBSERVER (Vol. 2 No. 3), which Page edited and where Holland took up a column after shutting down THE BAKER STREET PAGES.
