"Where All Gossip Is Welcome" [VALL] - December 2011

by Scott Monty January 01, 2012

This is the latest issue of Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press, Peter Blau's ("Black Peter") monthly newsletter of Sherlockian or Doylean gossip, published in print form since 1971, as a text-only digital archive on Sherlocktron since 1985, and a visual archive on Scribd since 2011. In agreement with Peter Blau, we've arranged to publish facsimiles of the print newsletter here, so online readers can see what the newsletter looks like. Below the scan you can find links to the sites mentioned in the text - in most cases, directly to the article, video or publication, to save you from having to search for the terms.

The following is the December 2011 issue; please feel free to share it via email, social network, or embed it on your own site.
