Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
More than 100 years after his very first appearance, Sherlock Holmes is a literary phenomenon without comparison. Encyclopedia Sherlockiana is the very first comprehensive compendium to all the stories, films, characters, and clues from the Canon. Here are synopses of every case in the stories and novels; profiles of notable figures; the aliases, disguises, and codes used by the detective; descriptions of the real cases that inspired Conan Doyle; and much more. More than 100 black-and-white illustrations, movie stills, maps, diagrams, and original drawings from the Strand uncover a tantalizing trail of fact, fiction, and speculation about the ubiquitous and elusive detective. With an introduction by John Bennett Shaw, founding member of the Baker Street Irregulars and the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, this is the most detailed and thorough volume available.Matthew E. Bunson, the author of numerous popular and historical encyclopedias, lives in Las Vegas.

Not to be confused with another book with the same title by Orlando Park, this volume was originally published under the title "Encyclopedia Sherlockiana", but for some reason was re-titled (maybe different titles in the US and UK?) "The Sherlock Holmes Encyclopedia". Interestingly, Orlando Park's book was originally published under the title "Sherlock Holmes, Esq., and John H. Watson, M.D., An Encyclopedia of Their Affairs"!
326 pages packed with information about the canon (synopses of plots, full descriptions of characters, places, biographies) as well as the history of Sherlock Holmes in television, films, plays and radio, as well as pastiches and Sherlock Holmes societies throughout the world.

This is a really cool book. It's got everything anyone would want to know about Sherlock Holmes. The book has a chronological listing of many dates important to Sherlockians. It has the Canon listed and almost anything else readers would want.
