Inscribed copy of Sherlock Holmes' debut book for sale

«An ''extremely rare'' inscribed copy of the book in which supersleuth Sherlock Holmes made his first appearance is expected to fetch up to £400,000 when it goes under the hammer.
The copy of A Study In Scarlet, the debut novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of only two inscribed examples known to exist.
Sotheby's will auction the work, which it described as ''one of the rarest books of modern times'', in London this summer.
The book was published in 1887 and took fewer than three weeks to write.»
