A quite passable anthology of Sherlock Holmes pastiche stories, in general. Some bonuses include an arti cle by Conan Doyle himself on the creation and collaboration in other media, and some essays by some of the writers in the books, so extra value certainly to be had there.
Holmes fans should find these reasonably diverting, I think.
