It was a mixture of his background and experience, and his nearly life-long love of Sherlock Holmes.</p><p>It also helps that he lives in close proximity to the location where Conan Doyle spent his first honeymoon—a location with an eerie occurrence that may have led to the selection of the Great Detective's name.</p><p>You'll want to see if you can test your knowledge with the <b>Canonical Couplet</b>: we give you two lines of poetry that describe one of the stories, and you name it. The winner will receive a copy of <i>Sherlock Holmes Magazine</i>.

It was a momentous occasion, as Kean is only the sixth head of the BSI since its founding in 1934.</p><p>Burt and Scott had an opportunity to speak with Michael on a wide range of topics, including his Sherlockian origins (which were induced rather than pursued), his career in the publishing industry, early days in Sherlockian scions, and his role with the BSI Press.</p><p>Michael also takes us behind the scenes to give us the story of his selection as the next BSI, going back a number of years. We discuss his vision for the role of a literary society in the twenty-first century and more pointedly, the difficult decision to make the 2021 BSI Weekend a virtual affair.</p><p>Also covered is our upcoming 200th episode: we are looking for your feedback. And of course, the latest round of <b>Canonical Couplets</b>. We had a record number of submissions in the last episode; the prize this time is a copy of <i>Sherlock Holmes: The Writings of John H. Watson, M.D.</i>, compiled by Edgar W. Smith and printed in 1962 by the Baker Street Irregulars.

Well, hold that thought for a moment. A quick word about where we are.<br /> <br /> As you're probably aware, there is the <a href="http://www.acdfriends.org/" target="_blank">Friends of the Arthur Conan Doyle Collection</a>, a group specifically focused on the support of said collection at the Toronto Public Library.<br /> <br /> Separately, <b>The Arthur Conan Doyle Society</b> was established by Christopher Roden, BSI ("Sir Henry Baskerville") and Barbara Roden, BSI ("Beryl Stapleton"), but is now defunct. From the late 1980s through the late 1990s, they published <i>The Parish Magazine</i>, the newsletter of the Arthur Conan Doyle Society and <i>ACD: The Journal of the Arthur Conan Doyle Society</i>.<br /> <br /> But for 20 years, there has been nothing in terms of a dedicated place for scholarship about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.<br /> <br /> Certainly the Sherlockian and Doylean communities do not lack for publications, in terms of the traditional (journals, books, and newsletters) and the new (online outlets to discuss publications past an present).<br /> <br /> Dr. Polasek raises an excellent point about the scholarship that's doing nothing in the night-time:<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> "We don’t have a home specifically for peer-reviewed scholarship. This is in spite of the number of academics we have in our ranks, and in spite of the fact that a lot of scholars who aren’t part of the Sherlockian community write on Conan Doyle’s life and works. Most Sherlockians miss those articles because they appear scattered in discipline-specific academic journals with small, specialist readerships."</blockquote> <br /> Therefore, she is establishing <i>The Conan Doyle Review</i> as<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> "A home for scholars across disciplines to publish work on Conan Doyle’s life, works, creative afterlives, and cultural legacies in a journal with academic rigor and professional distinction—a journal that welcomes readers who don’t necessarily research and write such articles themselves, but would nevertheless be interested in reading them. The Conan Doyle Review will sit at the intersection of the academic, Sherlockian, and Doylean worlds."</blockquote> <br /> Today, Polasek announced the launch of <i>The Conan Doyle R</i><i>eview</i>. She'll be serving as Founding Editor-in-Chief. <b>Dr. Kate Brombley</b> will be the Senior Associate Editor and <b>Mary Alcaro</b> is the Associate Editor.<br /> <br /> The editorial board is growing and the team will be working through the winter and spring to set up its peer-review management system, promote the journal’s mission, advertise, and raise funds.<br /> <br /> The expectation is that they'll begin accepting submissions from independent scholars in the summer and will publish the first issue in the spring of 2021.<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, you can find them on Twitter as <a href="http://twitter.com/acdreview" target="_blank">@ACDReview</a> and on <a href="http://facebook.com/acdreview" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and questions can be directed to editor@acdreview.org.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

It was the stories of the immortal detective, carried each month in that publication, that made it as popular as it was in the late 19th century and early 20th century. When the magazine published its last issue in 1950, it was the end of an era that spanned nearly 60 years.<br /> <br /> In the late 1990s, <i>The Strand</i> was given a new life by Andrew Gulli, who determined that the world was prepared for more literature around detective fiction. Andrew sat down with us to talk about his unique beginnings with Sherlock Holmes in Greece, a television program (not the one you think) and what led him to editing an iconic mystery magazine.<br /> <br /> And don't forget to try your hand at the latest Canonical Couplet, <b><i>as long as you're a </i></b><a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron"><b><i>Patron of the Arts</i></b></a>.<br /> <br /> <div> <div> Information on sponsors, links, and notes available below.</div> <br /> <div style="orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-indent: 0px; widows: 2;"> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="margin: 0px;"> <br /></div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="margin: 0px;">  <a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron" target="_blank"><img height="40" src="https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/widget-images/become-patron-widget-medium%402x.png" style="color: #0000ee; cursor: move;" width="204" /></a></div> </div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <div style="margin: 0px;"> <br /></div> </div> <br /> <br /> And please consider becoming a <a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron">Patron of the Arts</a>.

He was our guest on <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose17" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 17</a> when we talked about book collecting.<br /> <br /> Otto is back with us to talk about the genesis of <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="1101870893" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="ec20bee8f357b46f658ce2a3dedef769" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="The Big Book of Sherlock Holmes Stories" href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Book-Sherlock-Holmes-Stories/dp/1101870893/ref=as_li_bk_tl/?tag=thebakerstree-20&linkId=ec20bee8f357b46f658ce2a3dedef769&linkCode=ktl" id="amznPsBmLink_7293653" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Big Book of Sherlock Holmes Stories</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_7293653" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=ec20bee8f357b46f658ce2a3dedef769&_cb=1451453164746" style="border: none !important; height: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;" width="0" /></i>, the largest anthology of stories about Sherlock Holmes to date, as well as the rest of his enterprises. We learn about what goes into selecting (and discarding) stories that make up the nine Big Book anthologies under the Vintage Crime/Black Lizard label from Random House.<br /> <br /> As if Otto's considerable and copious editing doesn't keep him busy enough, the additional Otto Penzler Enterprises include the Mysterious Press and the Mysterious Bookshop. From a dozen books a year via the Press, an epublishing platform, and proprietary publishing just for the bookstore. What impressed is that that Otto's business acumen, timing and good fortune tend to converge across his enterprises, making him quite successful at what he does — despite any misgivings about his memory.<br /> <br /> Otto manages to survive our "Mental Exaltations" quiz program, which he plays on behalf of a lucky listener, who will go home with a copy of <i>The Big Book of Sherlock Holmes</i>.<br /> <br /> <br /> We know we're mediocre at telling you about supporting us via <a href="http://patreon.com/ihearofsherlock" target="_blank">Patreon</a>.

Neither did we. What we missed was the <a href="http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/archives/sherlock-holmes/" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes exhibit at the Museum of London</a>. However, we heard from many readers and listeners who did, and they were universally thrilled at the visit.<br /> <br /> The exhibition was remarkably well done, and it included everything from props and costumes from the BBC's <i>Sherlock</i> to original Conan Doyle manuscripts and Sidney Paget illustrations. Material was culled from around the world, from collectors and institutions alike, and it made for what was probably the most heralded Sherlock Holmes display since the Festival of Britain of 1951 that brought us the recreation of the sitting rooms at 221B Baker Street - a set that is now housed by the Sherlock Holmes Pub.<br /> <br /> But don't fret if you missed the opportunity to see all of these remarkable items together in one place. Now, courtesy of the Baker Street Irregulars Press is a remarkable catalogue - <i><a href="http://bakerstreetjournal.com/london.html" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes: The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die - The Museum of London Exhibition</a>.</i></div> <div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSKkEvUN-l5AbFmARnzQKB_haRr_vBDtKi8ljHUf3WRpjBv9qv3hhF_AgfgaIFgPZN5FToWk0CmfdGtSmHJ-GHlcCTxzkYlxyMC4mcj6sNgAJlSrU4DqnygCEd1CTs1K_xbpa4TzJIV_Cy/s1600/Museum+London+catalog+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSKkEvUN-l5AbFmARnzQKB_haRr_vBDtKi8ljHUf3WRpjBv9qv3hhF_AgfgaIFgPZN5FToWk0CmfdGtSmHJ-GHlcCTxzkYlxyMC4mcj6sNgAJlSrU4DqnygCEd1CTs1K_xbpa4TzJIV_Cy/s400/Museum+London+catalog+cover.jpg" width="303" /></a></div> <br /><br />Compiled by Nicholas Utechin, BSI ("The Ancient British Barrow") and Catherine Cooke, BSI ("<i>The Book of  Life</i>") with a foreword by Alex Werner, the Exhibition's curator, this volume provides an illustrated record of the Exhibition and the "wonderful stuff of Sherlockian collecting fantasy." </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Highlights include the two most important sheets regarding the birth of Sherlock Holmes, three original Holmes manuscripts, two Beeton's Christmas Annuals, eight Sidney Paget original drawings and one by Frederick Dorr Steele. Accompanying the illustrations are the compilers' comments, as well as selected Museum of London captions and contributions by Glen Miranker, BSI ("<i>The Origin of Tree Worship</i>") and Constantine Rossakis, BSI ("St. Bartholomew's Hospital").</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> The volume is 96 pages and measures 9.75" x 7.5" and is <a href="http://bakerstreetjournal.com/london.html" target="_blank">available from the <i>Baker Street Journal</i> site</a> for $20 plus shipping.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> We plan to buy one, even though the BSJ (our sponsors) didn't send us a review copy.

Summed up, this is basically an issue that is being brought to court via a case titled <b><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/125645482/KLINGER-vs-CONAN-DOYLE-ESTATE-LTD">Klinger vs. Conan Doyle Estate</a></b>, in which Leslie Klinger, BSI ("The Abbey Grange") is contesting the Conan Doyle Estate's claim that any new content that contains Sherlock Holmes must pay a royalty or license fee to the Estate. Burt and Scott parse through some of the non-technical/legal aspects of the case and discuss what's at stake.<br /> <br /> Speaking of being at stake, the other item on the docket is the debate as to what in fact constitutes a Sherlockian of good standing? That is, can one have arrived at the doorstep of 221B Baker Street via the BBC series (or Granada, or Universal, etc.) or must one have been schooled only in the printed literature and dress the part of a 1940s joiner? It's quite a debate - one that was taken up vehemently by The Baker Street Babes earlier this year, after the "Elite Devotee Redux" was published in recently resurrected  <i>Saturday Review of Literature</i>. We offer our own humble observations on the matter.<br /> <br /> For those who wish to subscribe to the publication and read all of the very interesting articles therein, you may procure a copy by sending $5 postpaid to Donald K.

As you know, a 50th anniversary is typically celebrated with gold. Because we appreciate our listeners so much, we would settle for nothing less than the same.<br /> <br /> But our gold comes in the form of a scintillating conversation with the two editors of the Baker Street Irregulars' eighth entry in their <b><a href="http://www.bakerstreetjournal.com/itemsforsale/bsimanuscriptseries.html">Manuscript Series</a></b>, <b><i><a href="http://www.bakerstreetjournal.com/wrongpassage.html">The Wrong Passage</a></i></b>, which is a look at the manuscript of "The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez." Co-editors Andrew Solberg, BSI ("Professor Coram") and Robert Katz, MD, BSI ("Dr. Ainstree") joined us to discuss just what it is that goes into creating a significant piece of scholarship such as we've come to expect from BSI publications of late.<br /> <br /> From the history of the manuscript itself, to artifacts from Paul Churchill's famed "evidence boxes," to an in-depth look at the historical background alluded to in the tale, the breadth of topics within the book is impressive. Also included are a number of other analyses on topics ranging from the historical and geographical to the linguistic, religious and medical, by noted Sherlockians Peggy Perdue, BSI ("Violet Westbury"), Denny Dobry, Donald Pollock, MD, <strike>BSI ("<i>The Anthropological Journal</i>")</strike> former member of the BSI, Albert Silverstein, BSI ("Professor Presbury"), C. Paul Martin, MD, BSI ("Dr. Leslie Armstrong"), Jacquelynn Morris, Richard J. Sveum, MD, BSI ("Dr. Hill Barton"), John Baesch, BSI ("The State and Merton County Railroad"), and William Hyder, BSI ("A Most Valuable Institution").<br /> <br /> Our discussions range as far and wide as the book itself, and we also cover just a bit of the BSI Weekend festivities from 2013. But more on that in a future episode.
