Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street

Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street: The Life of the World's First Consulting Detective | William Stuart Baring-Gould

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. 😎
