I really enjoyed Pointer's knowledgeable critiques and reviews of the Great Detective's appearances off the page and on the boards, the silver screen, the airways, the idiot box, and vinyl.

It could have been a dense info-dump, but Pointer cleverly distilled that into the 80-odd pages of Catalogue at the back of the book, delivering 116 initial pages of deftly handled history and anecdotes.
On the strength of this, I've ordered a copy of his 👇

Bookwomble ... "The Sherlock Holmes Files", which, by the same publisher within a year of the present book, I trust doesn't do much recapping of this material.
David & Charles published a series of Holmesian studies in the early to mid '70s, which all seem to be fairly highly rated. It would be a pleasant thing were some other titles to appear on my shelves ?:

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.

I finished this week‘s short story for #noplacelikeholmes. It‘s not included in the Sherlock Holmes short story collection narrated by Stephen Fry and it irritated me because I‘m used to hearing Stephen Fry read the stories. I found the audiobook for this short story through Amazon Music. A lot of different people have narrated this story and I ended up choosing Mark Young. His voice was nice but I still wish Stephen Fry would‘ve read the story.

dabbe I wish he had recorded the entire canon, too. 💚🌼💚 5d

I finished another book in this series. It was likable but wasn't my favorite out of the series. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

Thoughts, Sherlockians?

Librarybelle I still have some confusion over which stories are to take place before Reichenbach Falls…😂 6d
dabbe @Librarybelle IKR? When he writes his later stories, a lot occurred before “The Final Problem“--yet were written decades later! 🤯 5d
CogsOfEncouragement It is interesting that these short stories were first published in monthly periodicals and later bound in books for us. Thank goodness! I think I give a lot of shrugs to these problems in the canon because of that. If they were always published as we have them today I'd be much less forgiving. 5d
dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement And to think that there are SH clubs all over the world who love nothing more than to ponder the most minute details of these stories, especially dates and weather. I'm more likely to shrug myself and just move on to the next story.
