If one does a cursory search of the Sherlock Holmes stories for the name Adam, one is likely to come up rather short. Any quick search will yield "adam" as part of dozens of instances of "madam."<br />
<br />
But if one is looking for the given name that matches that of the first human in the Bible, there is no one named Adam in the Canon.<br />
<br />
However, we are treated to a quick mention of the surname Adams in "The Greek Interpreter," when Mycroft Holmes turns to Watson and Holmes and says:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“I am glad to meet you, sir,” said he, putting out a broad, fat hand like the flipper of a seal. “I hear of Sherlock everywhere since you became his chronicler. By the way, Sherlock, I expected to see you round last week, to consult me over that Manor House case. I thought you might be a little out of your depth.”<br />
<br />
“No, I solved it,” said my friend, smiling.<br />
<br />
“It was Adams, of course.”<br />
<br />
“Yes, it was Adams.”<br />
<br />
“I was sure of it from the first.”</blockquote>
This is the first and the last we hear of either Adams or the Manor House case. Who was Adams? What did he do? What happened at the Manor House that required a consultation with Mycroft Holmes?<br />
<br />
These are questions that are left unanswered, and very few individuals have attempted to solve it. In 1996, Edward D. Hoch wrote the pastiche <i>The Manor House Case</i> in the style of Ellery Queen. And the radio production of <i>The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</i> with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce brought us "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMrVnXgh7ec">The Manor House Case</a>" on October 15, 1945.<br />
<br />
But aside from that, we don't know the Manor House case from Adams. Maybe Baker Street Elementary is having more luck...<br />

If you were asked to group together <b>four </b>people or things in the Sherlock Holmes stories, what would immediately come to mind?<br />
<br />
Certainly "The Four" from <i>The Sign of the Four</i>: Johnathan Small, Mahomet Singh, Abdullah Khan, and Dost Akbar — "It's been the sign of four with us always." These are the individuals who together signed a document that bound them inextricably to the treasure of Agra.<br />
<br />
But what about beyond them?<br />
<br />
We always think of the four Violets and the stories in which we find them — the brave Violet Hunter ("The Copper Beeches"), the independent and athletic Violet Smith ("The Solitary Cyclist"), the heartbroken and stalwart Violet Westbury ("The Bruce-Partington Plans"), and the icy Violet de Merville ("The Illustrious Client").<br />
<br />
Putting these two pieces of information together, along with an iconic t-shirt (known in the industry as <a href="https://www.howdesign.com/how-design-blog/origin-of-helvetica-ampersand-list-t-shirts/">Helvetica list t-shirts</a> — a list that stripped down the idea of a rock band to a list of four names, in an attempt to reach the 'essence' of a group. It began with the first names of The Beatles and it grew from there.), we developed our own line of mugs and men's, women's, and unisex t-shirts that we're calling <b><a href="https://ihearofsherlock.myshopify.com/">Signs of the Four</a></b>.<br />
<br />

Chris Schweizer is a Sherlockian of multi-media origins. So it stands to reason that his depictions of the characters take on a multitude of aspects.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
In our conversation with this Sherlockian and Eisner-nominated cartoonist, we discover that he'd like to illustrate as many characters in the Sherlock Holmes stories as possible. And his work shows his close reading of the texts and his eye for detail, combined with his artistic creativity.<br />
<br />
Chris explains his process with us, and shows the work that he's done digitally, on paper, and now in the form of collectible wooden figures of Sherlock Holmes characters. His project is now running on Kickstarter for all to see and support. Pick the 4-pack that you prefer!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
We also have another installment of "As We Go to Press" with Mattias Boström, co-editor of the <a href="https://wessexpress.com/html/newspaper4.html"><i>Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle in the Newspapers</i></a> series. Try your hand at the latest <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz, see if you can figure out the story we're referring to, and you might win a prize.<br />

Insects don't get a lot of attention in the Sherlock Holmes stories, although they do crawl in from time to time.<br />
<br />
In The Hound of the Baskervilles, Watson first encountered Stapleton when the moor resident was chasing down butterflies.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"A tin box for botanical specimens hung over his shoulder and he carried a green butterfly-net in one of his hands."</blockquote>
<br />
Stapleton's study in Merripit House contained his remarkable collection of <i>Lepidoptera</i>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The room had been fashioned into a small museum, and the walls were lined by a number of glass-topped cases full of that collection of butterflies and moths the formation of which had been the relaxation of this complex and dangerous man."</blockquote>
<br />
And when Holmes and Watson visited the home of Nathan Garrideb in "The Three Garridebs," this consummate collector's surroundings were described by Watson:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"The room was as curious as its occupant. It looked like a small museum. It was both broad and deep, with cupboards and cabinets all round, crowded with specimens, geological and anatomical."</blockquote>
<br />
Even two individuals in the Canon had attributes that were positively insect-like. Can you identify each and the stories in which they appeared?<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>"The man drew out paper and tobacco and twirled the one up in the other with surprising dexterity. He had long, quivering fingers as agile and restless as the antennae of an insect."</li>
<li>"The Baron has little waxed tips of hair under his nose, like the short antennae of an insect. These quivered with amusement as he listened, and he finally broke into a gentle chuckle."</li>
</ol>
<br />
[Answers are below*]<br />
<br />
Finally, the most notorious individual connected with insects must be little Edward Rucastle, whose interactions with bugs were described by his proud father Jephro:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"One child—one dear little romper just six years old. Oh, if you could see him killing cockroaches with a slipper! Smack! smack! smack! Three gone before you could wink!"</blockquote>
But more than a father's twisted sense of pride, the following description of little Edward should have been an early indicator of the cruelty that pervaded the Copper Beeches:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"His whole life appears to be spent in an alternation between savage fits of passion and gloomy intervals of sulking. Giving pain to any creature weaker than himself seems to be his one idea of amusement, and he shows quite remarkable talent in planning the capture of mice, little birds, and insects."</blockquote>
<br />
Meanwhile, there's a certain appreciation for insects at Baker Street Elementary...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Every three years, the Norwegian Explorers of Minnesota host a conference. It's been their practice since 1995, and they've had some well-attended and well-regarded programs in that time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Julie McKuras, BSI ("The Duchess of Devonshire") and Gary Thaden are co-chairs of the latest conference, <b>Dark Places, Wicked Companions, and Strange Experiences</b>, which will be held August 8-11, 2019 in Minneapolis.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We spoke with Julie and Gary about the history of the conference, the Norwegian Explorers, the Sherlock Holmes Collections at the University of Minnesota Libraries, and more. Their description of past events and of plans for this year's festivities makes it sound like a very enticing conference, indeed!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Don't miss out on your chance to register. More information about the Explorers and the conference can be found in the Links section below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
We also have another installment of "As We Go to Press" with Mattias Boström, co-editor of the <a href="https://wessexpress.com/html/newspaper4.html"><i>Sherlock Holmes and Conan Doyle in the Newspapers</i></a> series. Try your hand at the latest <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz, see if you can figure out the story we're referring to, and you might win a prize.<br />

<br />
We hope you've had a chance to hear our nearly <a href="http://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2018/06/happy-anniversary.html#.Wyh07qczrb0" target="_blank">12 year-long show</a>, in which we interview notable Sherlockians who are doing their part to keep the memory of Sherlock Holmes green. The program <b>I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere</b> has evolved over the years, but we're on a steady cadence of long-form interviews on the 15th and 30th of every month.<br />
<br />
Over on <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/" target="_blank">Trifles</a> (available on any podcasting service and at <a href="https://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/">sherlockholmespodcast.com</a>) we're doing something a trifle different: every Wednesday, we take about 15 minutes to talk about one or two issues that we've noticed within the Sherlock Holmes stories. It's an approach that we hope brings more people into our fold who are new to Sherlock Holmes and are fascinated with the details within the story, or who may have some questions about what they read.<br />
<br />
<br />
And now, on with the recap of <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/2019/03/" target="_blank">our March shows</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>March Update</b></h3>
If you've listened to more than one episode of Trifles, just a word of caution: don't skip the intro or the final few seconds of each show! We vary the introductions and we have a different closing quote on every episode.<br />
<br />
Sherlock Holmes wasn't known for his poetic nature. He admonished Watson to "cut out the poetry" but he also waxed poetic about flowers in "The Naval Treaty." Pull up a chair and hear us discuss poetic moments and read a couple of poems about the stories in <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles114">Poetry</a>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
On to the next episode, where we enjoy a few rounds of <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles115">Whist</a> in our monthly feature of <b>Sports and Games</b> in the Canon. What was this game and how was it played? And how did it feature in stories like "The Empty House" and "The Devil's Foot"?<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Our next regular monthly feature, <b>International Sherlock Holmes</b>, is a monthly look at various nationalities and countries in the Canon and how they impact the stories. This month, it's <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles116">Irish and Sherlock Holmes</a>, and that takes us to America, naturally (?).<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<iframe frameborder="0" height="185" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation allow-popups" scrolling="no" src="https://embed.radiopublic.com/e?if=sherlock-holmes-trifles-GqnV0O&ge=s1!e9d07d416d8b54c548a334e9b0efc033f82f9940" width="100%"></iframe><br /></div>
<br />
<br />
And we wrap up the month of March with one of the mysteries of the ages, as we try to determine <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles117">Who Then, Was Porlock?</a> as suggested by Sherlock Holmes in <i>The Valley of Fear</i>. We share a number of theories from Sherlockians over the years.<br />

We're fairly comfortable in taking Dr. Watson at his word. That is, we trust that what Watson tells us is the true eyewitness account of his time with Sherlock Holmes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But what if that wasn't the case? What if Watson's writings were actually a set of highly polished tales that masked the true drama behind the scenes at 221B Baker Street?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That's the premise of <i><a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/trueadventures.html">The True Adventures of Sherlock Holmes</a></i> by Terence Faherty, BSI ("Sir Charles Baskerville") from Wessex Press. Terence joined us to talk about the art of writing, how he approaches mysteries, and how P.G. Wodehouse was one of the inspirations behind his book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The world knows Sherlock Holmes as a master detective – a professional who assists Scotland Yard in tracking down criminals. But in reality, in his role as a private consulting detective, there were instances when he was approached simply for advice, not because a crime was taking place.<br />
<br />
In fact, there was an instance when Sherlock Holmes became so annoyed with being consulted for minor occurrences that he complained,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"As to my own little practice, it seems to be degenerating into an agency for recovering lost lead pencils and giving advice to young ladies from boarding-schools."</blockquote>
Some of the most memorable cases in which clients sought advice included:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>"A Case of Identity" in which Mary Sutherland questioned what happened to her suitor (who turned out to be someone else entirely);</li>
<li>"The Noble Bachelor," where Lord Robert St. Simon lost his betrothed following their wedding ceremony;</li>
<li>"The Copper Beeches" (the story from which the quote above was taken), when Violet Hunter consults Sherlock Holmes about taking a governess job that paid twice as much as market rates;</li>
<li>"The Yellow Face" turned out to be nothing more than a cry for marriage counseling;</li>
<li>"The Missing Three-Quarter" was a matter of the whereabouts of a wayward athlete;</li>
<li>"The Sussex Vampire" concerned the verification of a mythical monster.</li>
</ul>
<br />
So, not all run-of-the-mill murder, blackmail, or robbery for Sherlock Holmes. We even begin to discern some of the unusual consulting he gave at Baker Street Elementary...</div>

</div>
"You do occasionally find a carrion crow among the eagles," Holmes tells Watson in "Shoscombe Old Place," using an avian metaphor to describe the possibility that Sir Robert Norberton is a bad 'un. It's not a kind way to speak of crows, who by all informed accounts are highly intelligent and social creatures, but he said it and we have to deal with it.<br /><br />Norberton is the only crow mentioned in the canonical stories, unless we count "the Crow Hill mine" referred to in <i>The Valley of Fear</i>. Or unless we are using a carefully selected edition of the stories, such as a version of the Doubleday <i><a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=Doyle&bi=0&bx=off&cm_sp=SearchF-_-Advtab1-_-Results&ds=30&recentlyadded=all&sortby=17&sts=t&tn=Complete%20Sherlock%20Holmes&yrh=1960&yrl=1930">Complete Sherlock Holmes</a></i> published between 1930 and 1960. For there, behold what we find in chapter 3 of <i>The Sign of Four</i>, in the episode where Holmes and Watson accompany Mary Morstan to meet her mysterious benefactor:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
"At the Lyceum Theatre the crows were already <a href="https://twitter.com/HarrytownSchool/status/887375553334054918" target="_blank">thick at the side-entrances</a>."</blockquote>
<br />The word should, of course, be "crowds," as it was in earlier editions and later ones as well. Newt and Lilian Williams, prominent figures now greatly missed by their friends in the Occupants of the Empty House in central Illinois, discovered this amusing typographical error in the 1970s. It launched them on a massive project to identify all the errors in the Doubleday text (and there are many of them) which they came to call <b>The Great Crow Hunt.</b> <br /><br />My father, <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2014/11/remembering-donald-redmond-bsi-2s.html#.XJZjwChKjb0">Donald A. Redmond</a>, BSI, 2s ("Good Old Index"), dedicated his 1990 book about the printing of the Canon, <i><a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&an=Redmond&tn=Sherlock+Holmes+among+the+Pirates&kn=&isbn=">Sherlock Holmes among the Pirates</a></i>, to Newt and Lilian. And Les Klinger, compiling his <a href="http://wessexpress.com/html/signoffour.html"><i>Sherlock Holmes Reference Library</i> volume for <i>The Sign of Four</i></a>, was able to consult the Williamses' much-marked-up copy of the Baring-Gould <a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&an=Baring+Gould&tn=Annotated+Sherlock+Holmes&kn=&isbn="><i>The Annotated Sherlock Holmes</i></a>, now treasured in the Occupants' library under the name of <i>The Annotated Annotated</i>. It records: <blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Peter Blau and Cameron Hollyer determined that the 'crows' appeared first in the Crowborough edition." </blockquote>
<div>
Crowborough was the village near the country home where Arthur Conan Doyle spent his final years; its name regrettably comes not from crows but from an old English word for yellow. The "Crowborough edition" of ACD's writings, in 24 volumes, was produced at the end of the author's life, in 1930, by Doubleday, who subsequently used some of the typesetting in the Complete SH — including the Crowborough crows.<div>
<br />Perhaps it was the memory of all these theatre-going crows that stimulated Canadian novelist Shane Peacock to make the birds play a significant role in his first "Boy Sherlock Holmes" novel, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Eye-Crow-Sherlock-Holmes-Case/dp/0887769195/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Eye+of+the+Crow&qid=1553360504&s=gateway&sr=8-1"><i>Eye of the Crow</i></a>, which appeared in 2007. <br /><br />So much for the crows who are birds. For the record, there is also Erasmus Crow, one of the victims in "The Adventure of the Reluctant Corpse" by Matthew J. Elliott, which appears in Volume III of the never-ending <a href="http://bakerstreetbabes.com/interview-with-david-marcum-editor-of-the-mx-book-of-new-sherlock-holmes-stories/"><i>MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories</i></a>. <br /><br />And many of us are acquainted with <a href="https://twitter.com/221Bcrow" target="_blank">@221BCrow</a>, who is an actual person, a writer and enthusiast of Victorian gay history well known in the Sherlockian twittersphere and the Pacific Northwest.<br /><br />In a different category are the crows who are sounds rather than winged creatures. "Finally," Watson writes, again in <i>The Sign of Four</i>, "he [Holmes] broke out into a loud crow of delight." That's not the hoarse caw of the crow, but a totally unrelated sound that has been called by the same word at least since the first English translation of the Bible a thousand years ago, which contains the phrase "Se cocc crawe," the cock crew.</div>
<div>
<br />It is, in fact, the same noise referred to in "The Norwood Builder" as "Lestrade's little cock-a-doodle of victory". And that's a peculiarly interesting phrase because, if you look up "cock-a-doodle" in the <i>Oxford English Dictionary</i>, one of the quotations documenting the word's use comes from the 1853 novel Peg Woffington by Charles Reade. "It seemed not unlike a small cock-a-doodle-doo of general defiance," Reade wrote, in a book Conan Doyle must certainly have read (he was a great admirer of Reade's later and greater book <i>The Cloister and the Hearth</i>) and, it seems pretty clear, borrowed — and improved — for "The Norwood Builder".<br /><br />Apart from crows, there are other corvids, notably ravens, which figure in <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i> as a pair of them "croaked loudly from a tor." Faced with Selden's body, Holmes observes that "We cannot leave it here to the foxes and the ravens." The Canon also twice refers to "raven" hair; in both instances the black tresses are borne by villains.</div>
<div>
<br />As far as I can tell, the tales make no mention of rooks, jackdaws, or magpies, and there is just one jay: Abe Slaney, captured at the end of "The Dancing Men," laments that Holmes tricked him with "a note which made me walk in here, like a jay, and give myself into your hands." I have no idea what that idiom is supposed to mean.</div>

Segar, creator of Popeye, and how the town of Chester and Sherlock Holmes are irrevocably connected with him. That led Mike to another mission: commissioning the first-ever permanent Sherlock Holmes statue in the United States.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We also learn about a new game called Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars, which Mike is creating. Both the game and the statue hold an opportunity for Sherlockians and Sherlock Holmes societies to get involved and have themselves or their loved ones honored.</div>

<br />
Titled "an annual capsule of a timeless past & future," the <i><a href="http://greenbag.org/BSA/bsa.html?fbclid=IwAR00bbB0H3ymytRrxJnsvPL1w9oUxTGJxV3bkRrMm1CI7_0j_j6-h2WO79g">Baker Street Almanac</a></i> is the brainchild of Ross Davies, BSI ("The Temple"). Followers of I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere may recall when Ross appeared on our show to discuss <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose137">Boxes from Royalty</a>.<br />
<br />
Now in its second year, the <i>Baker Street Almanac</i> is a publication of both print and electrons, and Ross indicated what this volume might be <a href="http://www.rossdavies.org/misc/Baker%20Street%20Almanac%20-%20readable%20(2018).pdf">in the inaugural edition last year</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"If all goes well, next year’s <i>Baker Street Almanac</i> will not be like the scrap of paper you are holding now. It will be a plump book of Sherlockian data — substantial, elaborate, fact-and-fun-filled.  There will be records of — and refletions on — 2018: lists and timelines and tables and directories and maps and so on. And there will be sprinklings of miscellaneous morsels — all Sherlockian, or nearly so. It will be our first big “annual capsule of a timeless past and future.” And it will be available in two formats: electronic (for free online to all) and ink-on-paper (for a pittance to all who pay)." </blockquote>
Last year's edition also included an article from <i>Ford Times</i>, a magazine similar to <i>Reader's Digest</i> or <i>Yankee Magazine</i> published by Ford Motor Company (your editor's former employer — as you'll see below) from 1916:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"In 1916, Henry Ford and Arthur Conan Doyle spoke out on opposite sides of the question of American neutrality in World War I, as the editorials reproduced on page 2 of this edition of the <i>Baker Street Almanac</i> show. But disagreement did not deter Ford and Doyle from capitalizing on each other’s iconic creations. Ford went first, using Doyle’s icon — Sherlock Holmes — to appeal to Britons to buy Ford cars. In August 1916, the Sherlockian parody, “ The Disappearance of Alice Nosegay” — featuring detective Sheerluck Jones — appeared in the U.K. edition of <i>Ford Times</i>, Ford Motor Company’s consumer-oriented magazine. (This was about a century before the brass at Ford got smart and hired "Corporal Henry Wood" to sharpen the cutting edge of their marketing communications.) In the story, a Ford car is an important prop in Sheerluck Jones’s successful romancing of Alice Nosegay.  The unspoken but obvious message: Find a Ford, find true love.  The original version of “ The Disappearance of Alice Nosegay” is reproduced on page 3 of this edition of the <i>Baker Street Almanac</i>."</blockquote>

<br />
Due to the success of the first edition, Davies was able to recruit contributors for the 2019 edition of the <i>Almanac</i>, and we're all beneficiaries of this fine curatorial work. There are two versions of the 2019 <i>Baker Street Almana</i>c: the limited <i><a href="http://greenbag.org/BSA/bsabuy.html">Sense of Humour Edition</a></i> (it features an ink-on-paper format, and some copies — to be honest, the ones that people actually pay for — include a few accessories), and the unlimited <a href="http://greenbag.org/BSA/BSA2019.pdf">Staunch Witnesses Edition</a> (it features an electrons-on-internet format, and it is free).<br />
<br />
What to expect in this edition:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>An around-the-world round-up of Sherlockian activities and organizations from all points of the globe</li>
<li>A full year of Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press</li>
<li>A year-by-year catalog of all I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere episodes</li>
<li>A listing of all Baker Street Babes episodes</li>
<li>A suggested Sherlockian library </li>
<li>A listing of artefacts in Denny Dobry's recreation of 221B Baker Street</li>
<li>Many commentaries</li>
<li>A look ahead at 2019</li>
<li>And much more!</li>
</ul>
<br />
Hop on over to the <a href="http://greenbag.org/BSA/bsa.html"><i>Green Bag</i> website</a> and see which version of the <i>Baker Street Almanac</i> appeals to you.<br />

<b>Update:</b></h2>
Charles Prepolec, BSI ("The Man with the Twisted Lip") shared the following on Facebook:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I'd posted about the 2019 Baker Street Almanac the other day, and ‪the print edition arrived yesterday. Card cover wrapped in a map, bound with ribbon and a postcard stuck on front. It’s a thing of beauty. I was almost loath to open it, it’s so lovely, but there was more within! The wrapper unfolds to a double sided 18 x 25.5 inch double sided map and poster, on one side a reprinting of ‘The Adventure of the Clothes-Line’ (1915) with great FDS illustrations reproduced and on the other side a cartographical presentation of ‘How Watson Learned the Trick’. The interior was not without surprises as well, a bookmark cryptically hand numbered numbered 3001, a reproduction Turf cigarette card and a Hound of the Baskervilles library punch card repro.<br />
<br />
As always, I am in awe of the creative talent and effort expressed by BSI classmate, Ross Davies, in putting things like this together. This is a wonderful package. While you can read the contents free online, there's plenty to commend about the print edition.</blockquote>
