221B: Studies in Sherlock Holmes

One of the most famous of all works of Holmesian scholarship, this is a volume eagerly sought by readers and fans. Among the delights to be found in its pages are essays on “The Care and Feeding of Sherlock Holmes,” “Dr. Watson’s Secret,” and “Was Sherlock Holmes an American?” Can anyone resist the temptation to read the contribution entitled “On the Emotional Geology of Baker Street”? Contributors include such notables as Christopher Morley, famed illustrator Frederic Dorr Steele, and A. Conan Doyle himself.

“Useful, entertaining, imaginative, it belongs on every reader-insomniac’s bedside shelf.”—The Catalogue of Crime
