The Papers of Sherlock Holmes

Out initial stock is sold out!! But a new supply is on the way, there are only nine (9) copies available in this shipment!!

     David Marcum is a freshly discovered Sherlockian author. In The Papers of Sherlock Holmes, his first published book, he has compiled, across 310 pages, nine of his own short pastiches. These include "the Adventure of the Least Winning Woman," "The singular affair at Sissinghurst Castle," The Adventure of the Madman's Ceremony," and six others. We have to admit, ruefully, that we don't have the time to read each and every book that we offer to you, but we have read David's book. We want to say that we, personally, were most impressed with the creativity shown by the "cases" he has created and by the way in which he holds true to the essence of a true Watsonian narrative. We feel that The Papers of Sherlock Holmes can easily compart favorably with the efforts of many of the "more established" authors in the Sherlockian literary world. We would be conpletely surprised if there were any Sherlockian (especially of the traditional school of thought) who wouldn't like David's new book. Tell you what, we are so sure that you will like this book that we'll make this offer - purchase the book and if you honestly don't like it, we'll return your purchase price and YOU MAY KEEP THE BOOK! No way to lose! But a way to get yourselves one really entertaining book!

NO POLICE LIKE HOLMES

     The symposium, “Investigating Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes," along with the donation of the world’s third largest private collection of Sherlockiana, were supposed to produce a weekend bringing great publicity to tiny St. Benignus college in Erin, Ohio.
     But when theft and murder come to campus, college public relations director, Jeff Cody, finds himself knee-deep in Sherlockian suspects. He is also besieged by an aggressive reporter whom he still loves, but no longer dates. If things weren't complicated enough, he is competing with his eccentric brother-in-law, Sebastian McCabe, to see who can solve the crimes first.
     The mess worsens when Jeff and his ex-girlfriend, Lynda Teal, themselves fall under suspicion of murder – and with good reason, for they have something to hide.
     In No Police Like Holmes author Andriacco takes Sherlock Holmes seriously, but, as for Holmesians - - well, that's a different story. Andriacco's new novel is witty, engaging and sure to delight not only the deerstalker crowd but all lovers of mystery.

     The majority of the pretty villages that make up the fictional Midsomer county are, in reality, strewn over four counties – Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire. Here for the first time is a comprehensive guide to the gorgeous locations used in filming the series. From Aldbury to Windsor, this book, published in conjunction with the Midsomer Murders Society, surveys over one hundred of these picturesque locations, complete with filming anecdotes. However, it concentrates primarily on the historical aspects of each site, most of which are now open to the public and worth visits in their own right. The guide is fully indexed by geographical location and episode. Midsomer Murders on Location is extensively illustrated and contains maps to assist the readers in planning their own visit. 90 pages, soft cover, perfect binding, 100+ photographs of mansions, cottages, castles, pubs, etc., (complete with maps) all lying in the towns and villages of Midsomer county. The authors have provided striking descriptions and colorful histories of each location. (The location photos in the Midsomer Murders on Location book are printed in B&W)
       This book is a must for all Midsomer Murders enthusiasts as well as being a fascinating guide for anyone interested in visiting (whether in fact, or only vicariously) some of Britain's finest countryside locations . We are informed that the book is fully endorsed by Bentley Productions.

How could the following telegram

Mr. Holmes very bad. Can you come at once?

from Mrs. Hudson to Dr. Watson lead Holmes and Watson to Singapore's exclusive and luxurious Raffles Hotel . . . and to Murder?
Sherlock Holmes at the Raffles Hotel is the newest title from Breese Books; that most prolific British publisher of Holmesian pastiches. Sherlock Holmes at the Raffles Hotel is authored by John Hall, who is certainly no stranger to pastiche readers with no fewer than five previous Sherlockian pastiches to his credit! We do recommend this one to your attention.

In this new John Hall novel, Holmes is engaged by a personal friend of King Edward VII to investigate a very curious Will written by an eccentric Millionaire. the Will contains a series of puzzles, the sloution to which will take Holmes, Watson and certainly the reader on an unsusal and eventful journey through Edwardian London. John Hall (about whom we have said that ". . . he is incapable of writing a bad book") writes with deep authroity but also with an uncanny ability to communicate with his readers. In Sherlock Holmes and the Hammertford Will, the author has captured the very essence of Conan Doyle's master detective. Softback, 137 pages

What starts as an evening’s entertainment for Holmes and Watson soon turns into what may well be considered to be an unusually baffling mystery that seems to have no solution. Holmes and Watson take themselves to the Varieties but discover that the very place of entertainment that they have chosen appears to be haunted. A sandbag drops on to the stage narrowly missing one of the artistes - and so begins another adventure for Sherlock Holmes.
How George Robey, the noted British variety artist, is involved will only be discovered as the readers attempts to sort fact from fiction in yet another stunning mystery from Val Andrews. The author who is a distinguished Sherlockian takes on his favourite subject: Variety and Vaudeville again but this time features Sherlock Holmes and Watson!

Now this is a little (actually, a lot) out of our usual line of books. When we first saw a copy, we couldn't resist it. We suppose that it was originally written for kids, but if you are enough of a k id to have enjoyed "It's a Bug's Life, or "Antz," then we think that you'll find "Ace Lacewing, Bug Detective" a decided pleasure. The book is about 10 inches square, contains 44 pages (we counted , the pages aren't numbered), has a dust jacket and the full-color art work is just terrific!
Here is how the narrative starts :
"It was a night like any other night in the city. Hot and sticky. Great weather if you're a bug. Everyone's a bug in Motham City. some good, some bad. Bad bugs are my business!"
(How could anyone resist this?)
It also makes a great gift for any mystery fan with a sense of humor!!
