His Last Bow (The Sherlock Holmes Reference Library)

This volume of Edgar Award winner Leslie S.

Praise for The Sherlock Holmes Reference Library:

...a beautiful piece of work, meeting and exceeding our expectations. This will be a standard for years to come, and every Sherlockian will want to have it. --The Baker Street Journal

As a tool for the researcher or as a bedside browser through the scholarship, serious, satirical, which has been expended in the name of Sherlock Holmes, this truly 'magnum opus' promises to become a new Holmesian milestone. Highly recommended. --Philip Cornell, Passengers' Log, The Sydney Passengers

If you want to master just about everything there is to know about The Great Detective and The Good Doctor, to understand what Holmes meant when he referred to a comet vintage of wine, and to know what discrepancies there are between the English and American editions of the works, plus a thousand other things relating to Holmes, Watson, and the England of the Victorian era, you must have these volumes. --Otto Penzler, The Mysterious Bookshop
