The Annotated Sherlock Holmes...

If you like Holmes, do yourself a great favor and pick yourself up a copy of The Annotated Sherlock Holmes. I am nearly through the “original” by William Baring-Gould and there is a “new” edition in three volumes, as seen here and here. The stories are great fun...but the annotations are exceptional. It is sort of like a college course in Holmes with a professor how knows *way* too much about the background of the stories and likes to share such information in all too deep detail. Really, really fun.
