Good Old Index : The Sherlock Holmes Handbook

A fascinating collection of information, hitherto unavailable, about the Great Detective & his creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. For example, the Index lists the astonishing variety of weapons employed in the stories: life-preservers (blackjacks), chairs, poison gas, & an arsenal of knives & pistols. You can study Holmes's garb, & the Index facilitates the evaluation of the character of Dr. Watson. Provides abundant material for an assessment of Doyle's writing habits; he was one of the greatest storytellers in English, but could be pompous. Includes thousands of Sherlockian facts into alphabetically arranged categories that allow the reader to find that information instantly.Ross, Thomas W. is the author of 'Good Old Index : The Sherlock Holmes Handbook', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756755393 and ISBN 0756755395.
