My friend down the street had old, not so great copies of Collier's complete #sherlockholmes in 8 volumes, The Further Adv of SH by Peter Haining, The Uncollected SH by Richard Lancelyn Green, The Exploits of SH by Adrian Conan Doyle. He had Loxley Books in England remake them into this set.😍

I had quite a lot of fun chatting about #sherlockholmes, #arthurconandoyle and #gothic stories at I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere. Many thanks to @scottmonty.com and Burt Wolder for their time and enthusiasm.

Episode 321: Sherlock Holmes Into the Fire

Margie Deck's new book is a clever combination of two of Conan Doyle's major themes.

@221bcooee.bsky.social --Interesting that the gravestone said she was 29 and the death certificate said she was 25, but I note a ? beside the birth date on the certificate. Is your missing name 'Werner'? I first thought 'Herman' but the upper case W look very similar? Not sure. Good work and post.

Margie Deck @margiedeck.bsky.social · 12d

Understood! A set of the old series Baker Street Journal had to take a back seat behind some other books to make space....the struggle is real. 🫢

We finished the little book nook kit, despite our own limitations and the limitations of the instructions. Far from our best work, but fun, and now a Christmas gift from two years ago is done.

Well, the ham sandwich and cold beer at 10 pm did nothing for the writer's block but they were damn tasty.

Bravo! @tiger-daniels.bsky.social -- 😍

"The Adventure of the Three Students" is complete! The three suspects are represented at the top, the crime scene is at the bottom. My Watson said it was one of his favorites ☺️ #sherlockholmes #miniatures #art #booksky #mysteries #victorian

The tiny little #SherlockHolmes and Dr. Watson I’m tasked with painting for the husband’s model project. Wish me luck…🫤

Hey @221bcooee.bsky.social -- FWIW, the missing words for Sir George Newnes might be:
BarT -- The common abbreviation then for baronet; most often BT now.
M.P. -- He was an MP for more than a decade; retired a few months before his death.
Maybe?

A post on Charles Blasson, and his published diary. Blasson was dresser with Conan Doyle in the Boer War, and became his personal secretary during that time.

OK— I’ve opened the box to the new computer. Let us see how much time and frustration it takes to get it doing what I want how I want it, and nothing else. Wish me luck….🫠🫠🫠🫠

At the airport at stupid o’clock early as directed so I can wait an annoying amount of time to board. I’ve brought a suitably grumpy and often annoying (but brilliant, damn it) man to read.

Hey @221bcooee.bsky.social -- I hope you'll write a follow up if you find out anything further about this. I've not heard of it before. So very interesting!
