If you were looking for the Sherlock Holmes media pundit, you've come to the right place. Howard Ostrom is a completist of Sherlock Holmes material in media, and he's been on the hunt for decades.</div>
<br />
Howard has collected more than 4,300 names of individuals who have played Sherlock Holmes in various formats over the years, and has written the new book <i><a href="https://www.mycrofts.net/eng-sherlock-holmes-on-screens" target="_blank">Sherlock Holmes Cyclopædia Volume I: 1929-1939</a></i>, with Thierry Saint-Joanis, BSI ("Monsieur Bertillon") as editor and illustrator, as an accurate documentation of Sherlock Holmes across all media.<br />
<br />
In our conversation, Howard describes the discovery of an error and a determination of the correct identity of the first actor to play Sherlock Holmes on film; he shares his secrets of sourcing new material; he makes an expert suggestion on where new Sherlockians might start their journey; and shares one or two of his biggest surprises.<br />
<br />
Toward the end of the episode, you'll find the latest <b>Canonical Couplet</b>. See if you can figure out the story we're referring to, and you might win a prize – you don't need to be a<b><i> </i></b><a href="http://ihose.co/ihosepatron" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Patron of the Arts</a> <i>– </i><b style="font-style: italic;">every </b>listener is eligible to participate!

<br />
Perhaps you've heard us repeat the old standard regarding the requirements for a Sherlockian meeting: "Two Sherlockians, a copy of the Canon, and a bottle. In a pinch, you can do without the other Sherlockian."<br />
<br />
There are two things inherently wrong with that phrase. The first is that it overemphasizes the imbibing habits of Sherlockians; beverages are merely part of the social construct and are in no way required. And second, we find <a href="https://www.ihearofsherlock.com/2014/02/a-brief-introduction-to-sherlockian.html#.W_zhruhKjb0" target="_blank">the Game is much more enjoyable when played together</a>.<br />
<br />
However, for those who happen to tipple whilst in the company of others (or even alone — we're not judging), there's a new spirit on the market that should turn the heads of Sherlockians (and Holmesians) everywhere: Sherlock's Gin.<br />
<br />
The brand is the first from <a href="https://www.distillersofsurrey.co.uk/" target="_blank">Distillers of Surrey</a>, a newly-formed distillery founded by <a href="http://www.harpers.co.uk/news/fullstory.php/aid/22956/Silent_Pool_head_distiller_branches_out_on_his_own.html" target="_blank">Simon Sherlock</a>, the head distiller at Silent Pool for the previous two and a half years. According to their site,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Distillers of Surrey is an artisan small batch distillery where craftsmanship is at the heart of the process with unparalleled quality and a passion for producing spirits with distinction."</blockquote>
Sherlock's Gin is their bespoke small batch product, which had been a year in the making before they opened. And it comes in three varieties, as described by the site:<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Solstice Edition</b></h3>
Eight delicately balanced botanicals inspired by the English summer, form this fresh and intriguing London Dry Gin. Poised at 42% ABV, the Solstice Edition has a traditional juniper body, floral notes of elderflower, paired with zesty pink grapefruit.<br />
Perfect serve: plenty of ice, premium tonic and a twist of pink grapefruit peel to garnish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Aromatic Edition</b></h3>
Twelve inviting botanicals make the Aromatic Edition. Inspired by the finest UK ingredients sourced  from olive groves in Sussex, rosemary and bay leaf from Surrey, and the UK's first tea plantation in Cornwall,  thus defining this as a quintessentially English London Dry Gin.<br />
Perfect serve: plenty of ice, premium tonic and a sprig of rosemary to garnish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2aEEBecKRr7obK5UyEoCmPxuWqgDUgp8eTP25qUYsDGHVNTzDsn1RCvckngy5egRP6kQX48PsG-2dZL6Ab4dCACugRtVFtXNQk9cEAo9Y07ViRohbr8eWlmxlJ54yaRSu3MO6-SipTE_/s1600/Sherlock+and+Sons+Aromatic.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="900" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2aEEBecKRr7obK5UyEoCmPxuWqgDUgp8eTP25qUYsDGHVNTzDsn1RCvckngy5egRP6kQX48PsG-2dZL6Ab4dCACugRtVFtXNQk9cEAo9Y07ViRohbr8eWlmxlJ54yaRSu3MO6-SipTE_/s640/Sherlock+and+Sons+Aromatic.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Nautical Edition</b></h3>
With a polite nod to the naval heritage in Ripley comes the Nautical Edition. Nine botanicals were carefully selected to form the 57% ABV/100 proof London Dry Gin. Featuring a juniper-forward aroma, complimented by the delicate notes of angelica seed and zesty lime.<br />
Perfect serve: plenty of ice, premium tonic and a twist of lime peel to garnish.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
With the holidays coming up, this would make a great gift to the Sherlockian in your life. (Or perhaps to the Sherlockian podcast hosts in your life...)<br />
<br />
But it looks as if you're out of luck if you want them to deliver and you live in the United States, though. We haven't heard of anyone procuring this in bars or restaurants stateside yet either.<br />
<br />
If you've had a chance to try Sherlock's Gin, please do let us know.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, you can follow Distillers of Surrey on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Distillers-of-Surrey-234964057246543/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/distillersofsurrey/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.<br />

<br />Invitations to the <a href="http://bsiweekend.com/" target="_blank">Baker Street Irregulars Weekend</a> in New York have been sent, and the public website was just updated. <br /><br />Whenever folks get their invitations, there's usually a sense of surprise, relief and even trepidation. Yes, trepidation. For some people, attending the Weekend is a difficult and onerous task.<br /><br />Some simply don't like to be around crowds, or perhaps detest the (often) harsh weather of New York in January. Others boycott for personal reasons. But there are some who simply can't afford the price of the accumulated events and the travel required to get there.<br /><br /><h2>
<b> The John H. Watson Fund</b></h2>
In the mid-1980s through the mid-1990s under Tom Stix, Jr.'s ("The Norwood Builder") term as Wiggins of <a href="http://bakerstreetirregulars.com/" target="_blank">the Baker Street Irregulars</a>, Tom created the <b>Dr. John H. Watson Fund</b>, a financial assistance package for the BSI Weekend, and credited it as his most proud achievement of leading the BSI.<br /><br />According to the BSI:<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The Dr. John H. Watson Fund offers financial assistance to all Sherlockians (membership in the BSI is <u>not</u> required) who might otherwise not be able to participate in the weekend's festivities. A carefully pseudonymous John H. Watson presides over the fund and welcomes contributions, which can be made by check payable to John H. Watson and sent (without return address on the envelope) to <b>Dr. Watson, c/o The Baker Street Irregulars, at 7938 Mill Stream Circle, Indianapolis, IN 46278</b>; your letters are forwarded unopened, and Dr. Watson will acknowledge your generosity. Requests for assistance should also be mailed immediately to Dr. Watson at the same address, and must be received by December 3 for timely processing of requests.</blockquote>
<br />
It is a wonderful resource that enables more people to enjoy one of the most important aspects of our hobby: spending time in the company of like-minded people. And while there are plenty of opportunities around the world to do this on a local level, the BSI Weekend happens just once a year and celebrates a long-standing tradition (84 years!) that was started by Christopher Morley.</div>
<div>
<br />Each year, the Fund is self-liquidating, meaning that assistance is granted to whatever extent is possible to the supplicants, and that generous Sherlockians are responsible for replenishing it every year. Traditionally this was done through simple check-writing, but then the BSI Cocktail Reception added <a href="https://bakerstreetirregulars.com/bsi-weekend/" target="_blank">an auction and drawing</a> [<b><i>Editor's Note</i></b>: to be updated], which also raise money for the Fund. Raffle tickets are sold throughout the weekend for some choice items and Peter Blau, BSI ("Black Peter") holds forth as an auctioneer nonpareil.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #0e0e0e; font-family: "verdana" , "geneva" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">--</span></span><br />

Baker Street Elementary – The Height of Inanity

<div style="text-align: left;">
Bullying is nothing new. Amid the latest anti-bullying campaigns, it's instructive to note that humans have been dealing with bullies and aggressive behavior since our earliest days.<br />
<br />
Even in the animal kingdom, we see instances of alpha male behavior and even exclusion of some weaker members of tribes by certain groups.<br />
<br />
A quick glance at the Sherlock Holmes Canon will turn up any number of mentions of bullies: <b>*</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Ronder</b> was remembered as "A huge bully of a man" and "a coward as well as a bully." [VEIL]</li>
<li>"A more perfect compound of the bully, coward, and sneak than <b>Master Silas Brown</b> I have seldom met with" was how Holmes referred to a suspect. [SILV]</li>
<li><b>Moriarty</b> was perhaps even more intimidating than a bully, as his conversational style had "a conviction of sincerity which a mere bully could not produce," according to Holmes. [FINA]</li>
<li><b>Jack Woodley</b> was "a dreadful person, a bully to everyone else," according to Violet Smith. [SOLI]</li>
<li>When cornered by a victim, <b>Charles Augustus Milverton</b>, one of the greatest bullies-by-blackmailing that London knew, countered with a weak and eventually ineffective "Don't imagine that you can bully me." [CHAS]</li>
<li>When instructed that one of his officers may have allowed a citizen into a crime scene, <b>Inspector Lestrade</b> demonstrated his authority: "a few moments later his bullying voice sounded from the back room." [SECO]</li>
<li>Very effective at keeping visitors away, <b>Colonel Emsworth</b> "was sometimes a bully." [BLAN]</li>
<li>And we can't forget <b>Watson</b> himself, who in his schoolboy years, participated in the bullying of Percy 'Tadpole' Phelps, the nephew of a great conservative politician. Watson admitted that "it seemed rather a piquant thing to us to chevy him about the playground and hit him over the shins with a wicket." [NAVA]</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Because children are pretty much the same all over the world, it should be no surprise that we find some bullies at Baker Street Elementary. But we may also find their protectors there as well.</div>

<br />
You're probably familiar with Stan Lee's work, as the Marvel universe continues to have its day in the sun. Lee is probably most famous for creating Spider-Man, but he's behind other Marvel wonders such as the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, X-Men and more.<br />
<br />
Stan Lee, the creator who made True Believers of us all, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/stan-lee-dead-marvel-comics-real-life-superhero-was-95-721450" target="_blank">died yesterday at the age of 95</a>.<br />
<br />
In an article in the <i>Wall Street Journal</i>, "<a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAAahUKEwj3xOX4zObIAhVIcj4KHRFHBpI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wsj.com%2Farticles%2Fstan-lee-comic-superhero-1445612633&usg=AFQjCNE8HKCLa1Rvua4pvEx_QgETT7lmrg&sig2=fJYISzt-_4K-F-9Epv5nPg" target="_blank">Stan Lee, Comic Superhero</a>" (possible paywall), Lee talked about his life as part of a promotional tour for his latest comic book <i><a amzn-ps-bm-asin="1501107720" class="amzn_ps_bm_tl" data-amzn-link-id="1ec8eec6ff6ae4a0a30f09cac3b17a7b" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword="Amazing Fantastic Incredible" href="https://amzn.to/36kyxW1" id="amznPsBmLink_120630" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazing Fantastic Incredible</a><img alt="" border="0" height="0" id="amznPsBmPixel_120630" src="https://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?source=bk&t=thebakerstree-20&bm-id=default&l=ktl&linkId=1ec8eec6ff6ae4a0a30f09cac3b17a7b&_cb=1446084849279" style="border: none; height: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 0px;" width="0" /></i> — which is actually his biography.<br />
<br />
He talked about his childhood, in which he loved to read. This excerpt particularly struck us:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"One of his favorite presents was a bookstand he could keep on the table so that he could read during dinner. He was especially inspired by Sherlock Holmes."</blockquote>
<div>
<br />
How fascinating! It made us want to dig a little deeper and determine where there might have been some overlap in the Marvel universe and Sherlock Holmes. We're not comic book experts, so we may need your help on this one, True Believers.<br />
<br />
The first obvious stop was the Marvel Preview two-part feature of <i>The Hound of the Baskervilles</i>, published in 1976.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7WKsQqEhp9gXxLhY0JyPKrR0jCo_GvTRiZ_MYsv35X3Si5MAgLyqiy-Q8AcRDoA3pBalqma_UR2wBse-qv_AcgQW5B6ZsJTLTLyt7ddlPOSfBJQWed966_bCCAy8R9QDAXfdw9puDK_hS/s1600/Sherlock+Holmes+-+Marvel.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7WKsQqEhp9gXxLhY0JyPKrR0jCo_GvTRiZ_MYsv35X3Si5MAgLyqiy-Q8AcRDoA3pBalqma_UR2wBse-qv_AcgQW5B6ZsJTLTLyt7ddlPOSfBJQWed966_bCCAy8R9QDAXfdw9puDK_hS/s320/Sherlock+Holmes+-+Marvel.jpg" width="236" /></a>     <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuyJ_IrABrOeJjPhGITWDVmXq6m4qxoA_vz1BGHV6-i3lbf2_EPCXF4k1u7ef8gFmVInyayr-KUSljmnSDhwh_10XqJoCsEDVGVRdTDCKxRm3aopnSNAMxYHvwZSxHF2f0IyztUgZ9ow1/s1600/Sherlock+Holmes+-+Marvel+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEuyJ_IrABrOeJjPhGITWDVmXq6m4qxoA_vz1BGHV6-i3lbf2_EPCXF4k1u7ef8gFmVInyayr-KUSljmnSDhwh_10XqJoCsEDVGVRdTDCKxRm3aopnSNAMxYHvwZSxHF2f0IyztUgZ9ow1/s320/Sherlock+Holmes+-+Marvel+2.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, of course we turned to our old friend Jerry Margolin, the sine qua non of Sherlockian art collectors, has some original Sherlockian artwork of Will Eisner. Stan Lee was the 1994 recipient of the Will Eisner award. But more importantly, Jerry (who was our guest on <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose16" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Episode 16</a>) has this image of Spider-Man in a deerstalker and Inverness cape:<br />
<br />

<br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>
Now we turn to Sherlock Holmes impersonators. In doing so we find that Robert Downey, Jr. has played Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) in a number of Marvel films and Benedict Cumberbatch appeared as Dr. Strange.<br />
<br />
And our final connection is a trifling one, but as Sherlock Holmes said, "there is nothing so important as <a href="http://sherlockholmespodcast.com/" target="_blank">trifles</a>." [TWIS]  In his monthly column in the 1960s, Lee would sign off with his trademark motto, "<b>Excelsior</b>!" While it is also the New York State motto, we can't deny that the phrase also made its way into the Canon in "<b>The Adventure of the Creeping Man</b>," with this exchange between Holmes and Watson, respectively:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Have you the effrontery necessary to put it through?"<br />
"We can but try."<br />
"Excellent, Watson! Compound of the Busy Bee and Excelsior. We can but try - the motto of the firm. A friendly native will surely guide us."</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
Coincidence?<br />
<br />
Have we missed any Marvel references that may provide more clues to Stan Lee's early inspiration? Do let us know in the comments section.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Throughout the course of his adult life, Sherlock Holmes must have had dental problems.<br />
<br />
We're aware of the complaints he mentioned, such as getting his canine knocked out by Matthews, in the waiting room of Charing Cross Station [EMPT]. And how he would have been well-advised to take protective precautions for his teeth when he boxed against McMurdo [SIGN].<br />
<br />
Any serious dental work on Sherlock Holmes must have been easily hidden. After all, it was Arthur Pinner's gold-stuffed tooth that gave him away [STOC]. Surely Holmes's many disguises would have required inconspicuous dental work so as to keep his identity a secret.<br />
<br />
More observations like this are available in a letter from from Charles S. Wilson, D.D.S. to Charles Goodman, D.D.S. under the title "The Dental Holmes" from <i>Profile By Gaslight</i>.<br />
<br />
Let's see if there's an origin story to those concerns at Baker Street Elementary...</div>

Remembering Wah Wah Watson

<br />
The name Wah Wah Watson may be familiar to music fans around the world, but to Sherlockians, his name may be a bit more obscure. But his music style was ubiquitous.<br />
<br />
Born Melvin Ragin, he became known as Wah Wah Watson after his extensive use of the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/obituaries/wah-wah-watson-dead.html" target="_blank">wah-wah pedal</a> that he used for his guitar which he played with dozens of bands and lead singers such as The Supremes, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and more.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/01/obituaries/wah-wah-watson-dead.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fobituaries&action=click&contentCollection=obituaries&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=6&pgtype=sectionfront" target="_blank">Mr. Ragin passed away</a> last week at the age of 67.<br />
<br />
The wah-wah effect originated in the 1920s when musicians moved mutes in and out of their trumpet and trombone bells. We're sure you've <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Msh45Mruxbo" target="_blank">seen this in action</a>.<br />
<br />
Ragin used the effect on his guitar and it created a signature tune throughout the late 60s and 70s.<br />
<br />
<h2>
<b>The Sherlock Holmes Connection</b></h2>
The reason we're mentioning Wah Wah Watson here isn't only because of his name. In 1976, he released his own album titled <i>Elementary</i>, featuring Watson on the cover wearing a deerstalker and with a meerschaum pipe.<br />
<br />
This would have been at the height of Sherlock Holmes fervor that was spurred on by <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose85" target="_blank">Nicholas Meyer, BSI</a> ("A Fine Morocco Case") and his book and film <i>The Seven Per-Cent Solution</i>. [Listen to our interview with Meyer in <a href="http://ihose.co/ihose85" target="_blank">Episode 85</a>.]<br />
<br />
Here's the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQEAfwi-Ed8" target="_blank">extended release versio</a>n of the album, for your listening pleasure:<br />

<br />
<br />
Other than the role that chicken played in "Wisteria Lodge" and cows in "The Priory School," we regret that we can find no mention of <a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=brown%20chicken%2C%20brown%20cow" target="_blank">brown chickens or brown cows</a> in the Canon.<br />

We're pleased to provide this update about <a href="http://www.sherlockholmespodcast.com/" target="_blank">Trifles</a>, our weekly 15-minute show in which we 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 />

<h3>
<b>October Update</b></h3>
<i>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 the closing quotes. You may be amused. </i><br />
<br />
We kicked of the month of October with Episode 92, a discussion of <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles92" target="_blank">Telegrams</a>. Not only the sending and receiving of these short messages at Baker Street, but the history of the industry as well.<br />
<br />
<iframe frameborder="0" height="200" scrolling="no" src="https://embed.radiopublic.com/e?if=sherlock-holmes-trifles-GqnV0O&ge=s1!20c8093498fa09d4c84eef2e12c4531fd413ecf4" width="100%"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
Then we sat proceeded to Episode 93 for our monthly feature "<b>Inside 221B</b>" that looks at some of the physical objects we find in the flat at Baker Street. We decided to <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles93">Have a Seat</a> and pondered the various types of chairs and other seating arrangements of note in the Canon.<br />
<br />
<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!e0e69985c600b9b2a6976754c937b3864c2a57d7" width="100%"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
Our next regular monthly feature, "<b>Unpublished Cases,</b>" has to do with tales that didn't make it to the public. Episode 94 brought us into contact with the peculiar persecution of <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles94">John Vincent Harden</a>. Just who was he?<br />
<br />
<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!bbb089c4ad31023c05aa2564814b96717540334f" width="100%"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
Then we were on the scent with <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles95">Episode 95 – Woof,</a> in which we looked at the roles of Canonical canines beyond the obvious.<br />
<br />
<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!4ff48d1ed3ca5b051b3474a9639c8829cf1a77b1" width="100%"></iframe>

<br />
<br />
And finally Episode 96 gave us a chance to celebrate Halloween with <a href="http://ihose.co/trifles96">Trick or Treat</a>. Sherlock Holmes's legendary use of disguises came early on in the stories. We explore when and how he donned various costumes.<br />
<br />
<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!3d4d4bc31c9901c283aab2b7e34b9c914177d6d2" width="100%"></iframe>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Without a doubt, one of the greatest Sherlock Holmes scholars of our time is Les Klinger, BSI ("The Abbey Grange"). Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, he updated and expanded the landmark <i>Annotated Sherlock Holmes</i> by William S. Baring-Gould, BSI ("The <i>Gloria Scott</i>"). His work took on two forms: The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes, published by W.W. Norton, and The Sherlock Holmes Reference Library, published by Wessex Press.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But Les's work goes far beyond Sherlock Holmes. He has created five other annotated volumes, plus has edited a variety of mystery fiction books. He's a certifiable editing and annotating dynamo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We talked with Les on the four (!) books he has out this year, and on what goes into the process of annotating classic books.</div>

<br />
The first appearance of Sherlock Holmes was in <i>A Study in Scarlet</i>, which appeared in <i>Beeton's Christmas Annual </i>of 1887, which the <a href="http://www.bestofsherlock.com/beetons-christmas-annual.htm#Antique"><i>Antique Trader Vintage Magazines Price Guide</i></a> called "the most expensive magazine in the world."<br />
<br />
There were 33 known copies in existence, which Randall Stock, BSI ("South African Securities") lists on his Best of Sherlock website under <a href="http://www.bestofsherlock.com/beetons-christmas-annual.htm">Beeton's Christmas Annual 1887: An Annotated Checklist and Census</a>.<br />
<br />
However, an entry on Peter L. Stern's page on AbeBooks.com recently turned up a <b>34th</b> copy of the Beeton's, <a href="https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=22894373890&searchurl=bi%3D0%26ds%3D30%26sortby%3D17%26tn%3Dbeeton%2527s%26vci%3D38038&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title1">listed for $75,000</a>. The description is as follows:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
First Edition; with the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes. Bound without wrappers or advertisements in contemporary paper-covered boards (very lightly rubbed) with a cloth spine titled 'A Study in Scarlet.' The text is unusually fresh. In a custom quarter-morocco slipcase. With four illustrations by D.H. Friston, two of which feature the earliest depiction of Holmes, not yet characterized by the indelible image by Paget the public has held since 1891. Most copies known lack all or part of the wrappers and ads, as the present copy does. We are aware of only two complete copies sold in the last thrity-five years or more. By now, the story of Doyle's misfortune in publishing this story is well-known; he sold the entire copyright for £25. The Annual sold out quickly, as did the 1888 book edition. The following decades saw hundreds of editions, most of them piracies. While Doyle reaped little benefit from this novel, he didn't make the same mistake twice. So far as its historical importance goes, it's all been said before. Suffice it for us to add that in the field of detective fiction (or, perhaps, for popular fiction in general), A Study in Scarlet was the equivalent of the invention of the electric light bulb. All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted. Bookseller Inventory # 36220</blockquote>
<br />
More details about this copy are <a href="http://www.bestofsherlock.com/beetons-christmas-annual.htm#R34">available here</a>.<br />
<br />
The last copy that sold as bound without wrappers or advertisements was sold at Bonhams Oxford for $36,500. There's no indication that the copy above is that same copy.<br />
<br />
So, scrape together the funds, take out a second mortgage, drain the retirement savings. It's very rare that a Beeton's comes on the market.<br />
<br />
And let us know if you end up with it.<br />

Sherlockians have been accused of being somewhat...singular. Our hobby is a precursor of many others that have risen to more mainstream occultism, such as fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, and the hundreds of others that can make up attendance of Comic Con.<br />
<br />
We've often said that at a Sherlockian society event, you'll meet everyone from plumbers to presidents, and everyone in between. Our gatherings are easily a cross-section of humanity, all held together with Canonical-strength glue.<br />
<br />
Now perhaps we can delve into our lesson plans and put together a comprehensive guide...</div>

There's no question that being with other Sherlockians makes things eminently more enjoyable. And that was proven to be quite true during From Gillette to Brett V in Bloomington, Indiana earlier this month.</div>
<br />
Nearly 150 Sherlockians gathered to celebrate Sherlock Holmes on the screen, and there were a wonderful grouping of talented people who put on the program and participated in it. We caught up with a number of them and got their unique take on things.<br />
<br />
These people included:<br />
<ul>
<li>Nick Utechin</li>
<li>Ashley Polasek</li>
<li>Leslie Klinger</li>
<li>Terence Faherty</li>
<li>Charles Prepolec</li>
<li>David Stuart Davies</li>
<li>Jeffrey Hatcher</li>
<li>Steve Doyle and Mark Gagen</li>
</ul>
<br />
The result is a multifaceted view of a multifaceted character. Whether you're into Jeremy Brett, Peter Cushing, Basil Rathbone, Jonny Lee Miller, Michael Caine, Benedict Cumberbatch, or a hundred others, there's something for everyone.<br />
