A solid overview of things Sherlockian A good summary of things Sherlockian, better than most of the "guides" that are aimed at non-Sherlockians, but no surprises here.. "Fun-filled facts at your fingertips" according to Ginny J. A great compendium of information that is already out there - somewhere. I didn't learn much that was new to me, but it was nice having it all in one place. My husband, who enjoys Sherlock Holmes but is not familiar with the periphery info, very much enjoyed this book and found it enlightening. My only quibble: an index would be very helpful.. The Sherlock Holmes Miscellany The Game is Afoot This a great reference book. This volume brings together vast amounts of Sherlockian information that took me years to gather. It is presented in a easy to read user friendly style that kept me reading long after I was going to stop. I highly recommend this work.
