Gary Lovisi has been collecting Sherlock Holmes arcana for decades, and has written on every aspect of the Great Detective and the literary world of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He has collected 22 of those articles in this profusely illustrated edition that celebrates the joys and discovery of collecting.
It’s all here: from the scarce paperbacks to the classic hardcovers; the films, the comics, and the magazines… Holmes on stage and screen… the rare Mexican Sherlock Holmes series… the Penzler Sherlock Holmes Library… even Professor Challenger and the Lost World make an appearance! Lovisi writes about the pastiches, the fan writings, the scholarly musings… even the Sherlock Holmes cards!
If you are fan of Holmes, a book collector, a lover of Victorian London, or simply curious about this fascinating world of homage and detection, this is the book for you. Gary Lovisi offers a cornucopia of Sherlockania in this Sherlock Holmes Notebook!
Take the challenge and see how you do when you tackle the hundreds
of questions in this book about the facts, stats, stories and sheer
trivia about the game of hockey.
