Some cozy classic essays on Sherlock Holmes and the Great Game, first pubbed in 1940. Some of my faves: The Field Bazaar (the classic ACD), The Adventure of the Unique Hamlet (the classic Starrett), Sherlock Holmes in Pictures (Frederic Dorr Steele), and the absolutely exhaustive Appointment in Baker Street (Edgar W Smith).

More in depth essays with curious topics; although the 45+ page list cataloging every appointment at 221B was a bit specific for my tastes!

An uneven mix/variety of essays concerning Sherlock Holmes and his times. Some were quite entertaining while some were not as interesting
