Gift for my little brother - could barely put it down on Christmas. No Holmes lover is a complete person without it.

There is another Sherlock Holmes Hanbook out there, but this is the one to get if you wish to study Holmes's methods. The material and illustrations are excellent, but the book's design is outstanding. I love the size, color, cover design, everything makes it look like it might have come from 1890.

Ransom Riggs artfully guides the reader through the deductive and intellective realm of Holmes. Eugene Smith's illustrations compliment Riggs' discourse perfectly. After reading this clever book, I longed to visit a 19th century crime scene. I highly recommend that you purchase this book.
Fantastic read

I love Sherlock Holmes, and I thought this delivered on all fronts. Highly recommended it to other fans of this legendary detective. Look forward to more work from Ransom Riggs.
