entertaining extrapolation from the hints and passing references in the Holmes stories and novels of books ithat certainly were ore most probably were in Sherlock's library, Stern is on half of the famous dealers, Rosenberg and Stern, who wrote many memoirs on bookselling and were recognized as authorities on earlier histories, natural histories and plate books which Stern has reference here. All in great fun, as is said. ( )

A whimsical survey of Sherlock Holmes as rare book collector. I might take exception to a few of Stern's conclusions about which editions Holmes likely owned, but she knew her business so I will give her the benefit of the doubt. ( )

Interesting re-construction of the library of Sherlock Holmes. Based on reading of the Arthur Conan Doyle classics and hints from Holmes of the books he consults. Marvelous piece of detective work.
