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 👇
"So far we have been spared the spectacle of Sherlock Holmes on ice!"
If you live long enough, though... ?⛸️?

Have a lovely week. 💚
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." ?
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.
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.
