Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Between 1887 and 1927, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote sixty Sherlock
Holmes stories, and his great Canon has become the most praised,
most studied, and best-known chapter in the history of detective
fiction. Over twenty thousand publications pertaining to the
Sherlock Holmes phenomenon are known to have been published, most
of them historical and critical studies. In addition, however,
almost since the first stories appeared, such was their uniqueness
and extraordinary attraction that other authors began writing
stories based on or derived from them. A new genre had appeared:
pastiches; parodies; burlesques; and stories that attempted to copy
or rival the great detective himself. As the field widened, there
was hardly a year in the twentieth century in which new short
stories or novels did not appear. Many hundreds are now known to
have been published, some of them written by authors well-known for
their work in other literary fields. The non-canonical Sherlock
Holmes literature not only constitutes a literary field of
considerable historical interest, but includes many stories that
are both enjoyable and fascinating in their own right. Although a
large bibliography on these stories exists, and a few limited
anthologies have been published, no attempt has previously been
made to collect them all and discuss them comprehensively. The
Alternative Sherlock Holmes does so: it provides a new and valuable
approach to the Sherlock Holmes literature, as well as making
available many works that have for years remained forgotten.
Presented as an entertaining narrative, of interest to both the
aficionado and the scholar, it provides full bibliographic data on
virtually all the known stories in the field.
In this moving collection, a childhood darkened by a harshly
critical family follows the poet into his adult world, persisting
like ..".winter hanging on/ into spring," its "small hail" stinging
every surface. Characterized by a wry wisdom, these haunted,
evocative poems collapse the distance between past and present.
With a stark, transcending grace, Joseph Green chronicles "Ordinary
lives./ Ambitions spilling. Plans failing./ Dreams seeping out
through the cracks." Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate
