Sherlockian.Net: Quotations from Baker Street

[Quotations cover rotated 20 degrees]

Who said that? Now you can know

What do you usually find under a bed? What Canadian author created a Great Detective with “half a bucket of cocaine and a dipper” on the chair beside him? Who first gave Sherlock Holmes the line “Elementary, my dear Watson”?

Such are the questions you'll find answered in the new edition of Quotations from Baker Street, edited by Chris Redmond (the proprietor of Sherlockian.Net) and now available to Sherlockians for whom it is always 1895, 1946 (“He made the air a good ten per cent sweeter”), 1998 (“Someone has stolen our tent”), and just about any other year you care to name.

This collection of memorable, touching, familiar, historic and funny sentences from the literature and folklore of Sherlock Holmes will encourage the browser and the scholar to explore the riches of writing about Sherlock Holmes beyond — far beyond — the familiar Canon. In part it's a work of reference, through which researchers may be able to trace familiar or half-familiar phrases to their authors, but most readers will find it more valuable as a hors-doeuvres tray, here for the literary sampling, suggesting the many flavours in which Sherlockian writing has been served up over the years.

US checks and Canadian cheques are both welcome; make the amount $10, and send to Chris Redmond at 523 Westfield Drive, Waterloo, Ontario N2T 2E1 Canada.
