Vol. 4. Den blaa Karfunkel. 1906.
This "3rd impression" was also issued in 92 parts (16 pages each) to subscribers. The cover was by Valdemar Andersen who also drew the vignettes for the two different bindings offered to the subscribers.
In the last part of the 92 issued by Gyldendal i 1905 there was a letter in which Dr. Watson bids his readers goodbye and makes a statement that would have shocked Mr. Holmes.
Baker Street To my esteemed readers. With this pamphlet the Sherlock Holmes series comes to an end. Maybe at some later time I may again have the pleasure of telling you of some other marvellous adventures of my friend Holmes but untill such time when he shall again catch your attention may I venture to ask you to transfer the same interest to "Edgar Poe's Fantastic Tales" which is now started in a subscription edition. Whoever reads Poe's fantastic tales will experience a series of the most exciting stories. Edgar Poe who was the first and original creator of crime stories became famous very quickly and on many occasions in his stories he surpasses Holmes' most wonderfuld investigations that provided his readers with so many hours of excitement and thrill. On the following pages you will find an extract of a story which will more convincingly than my recommendations compel you to subscribe to Edgar Poe's Fantastic Tales. Yours faithfully Dr. Watson
This edition of Rødbøgene with red cover is rather special. The front cover says Gyldendal, but the title page says Det Jydske Forlag 1902 and 2nd impression. When Gyldendal bought the rights they probably also bought the remaining sheets from the 2nd impression and used them for this "remainder"-edition ("prisnedsættelse").
