Of the Mycroft and Moran edition, 35 copies were bound in black cloth printed in gilt on the spine and front board, likely by collector/publisher Gerry de la Ree and distributed thus probably during the 1980s. The bound copies bear a label affixed to the inside front pastedown with a statement of the copy number, e.g. "#6 of 35 bound copies."
The story is part of Derleth's Solar Pons series of pastiches of the Sherlock Holmes tales of Arthur Conan Doyle. It is a Christmas story about Ebenezer Snawley, an eccentric collector of Dickensiana who dresses in 19th-century clothing and is harassed by a man who bawls street cries near his dwelling.
