The Battered Silicon Dispatch Box (BSDB) is a independent, Canadian literary publisher, founded in 1993 by George A. Vanderburgh, a Family Physician, Ontario Coroner, and retired Medical Officer in Canadian Forces Medical Services. The press initially specialized in the writings about Sherlock Holmes and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with the motto "The Sherlockian publisher of first and last resort." Since then the imprint has focused on detective fiction from the Golden Age, as well as pulp fiction serial characters from the 20th century in the series "The Lost Treasures from the Pulps." The press also specializes in new and otherwise out-of-print books by Canadian authors. BSDB has issued books under many different logos including The Other Door, Artemesia House, Mycroft and Moran, Hawk and Whippoorwill and The August Derleth Society. The BSDB published over 425 titles in its first decade and a half, including a wide array of works of poetry, fiction and nonfiction by authors from Canada and around the world, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, R.
