A couple of Sherlock Holmes books I didn't go looking for yesterday, but which I found anyway! ?
I'm pleased to have added Baring-Gould's pseudo biography to my collection: it's a 1962 first edition and treats its subject as if historical, in best Holmesian tradition.
The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes is a 1975 review of "the many ways in which the entertainment industry has used, and misused, the best-known character in all fiction." ?

Bookwomble Naturally limited to its publication date, with some neat photos from film and stage. The second half is a catalogue listing the Great Detective's appearances on stage, screen and radio, which is a useful reference, but dry reading, so I won't do that when I come to it.

#OldCoolBooks | May 2: tome

The closest thing I have to a tome is my Annotated Sherlock Holmes from William S. Baring-Gould published in 1967. So not really old, but still cool. 😎

Sarah83 And you tell me, you don't have any Sherlock 😉😍 looks so great. 💖 7y
wanderinglynn @Sarah83 I had forgotten about these until I started digging for a book to meet the prompt! 😆 (edited) 7y
Sarah83 Ok. 😉 Great that I didn't get you this book. 🙈 7y
