Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Long considered one of the benchmark works of Holmesian scholarship, this richly informative biography of the great fictional detective was very first published in 1933. Dr. Julian Wolff, revered Commissionaire of the Baker Street Irregulars, call this 'the greatest book about Sherlock Holmes ever written.'

Rated by buyers -
This is an excellent book for anyone with even a passing interest in Sherlock Holmes. It's a series of essays-- more like discussions, or tributes-- and a few useful lists, with photogrpahs, drawings, and a nice short pastiche (written with as much skill that it might have been written by Watson himself.)
It's currently out of print, but you can easily buy a copy from one of the sellers here on Amazon.[com.] I can't vouch for the harback or very first edition copies, but the paperback from 1977 is usually surprisingly [low cost]. Really, you're getting more than your money's worth. The writing is charming and smart. I would say this is a necessary addition to any Sherlockian home library.
