I was so distraught over the Chicago Bears last second loss to the Eagles yesterday that I completely forgot to post Sherlock Holmes birthday yesterday January 6th, I did make up for it by watching "Sherlock Holmes And The Scarlet Claw" through teary eyes.

What gets me is how the Eaglet fans are now beating the chests and claiming they are the best team in football because of the win. If they were that good, it wouldn't have been close.
(I sent this yesterday...I thought...I guess I forgot to push post?)
Sherlock Holmes appeared in a total of 60 stories, written by Arthur Conan Doyle and published between 1887 and 1927. The four novels and five volumes of short stories now often appear as The Complete Sherlock Holmes.
There are several pieces of Holmesiana in the FREE PIPE SMOKING LIBRARY folder.
@TaylorJDutton I would recommend this. It is available at BN for $25 new and has all 4 novels and 56 short stories in one very nice looking leather bound book.
