Hello,
You may want to compare your favorites with the
lists! I must admit that my list is a combination of
the two. How about you?
When we met in March with the Lovesey
books, there were several requests for a
bibliography. I have collecte dup a list from several
sources that may be useful. I have a feeling it is not
entirely comprehensive, but here goes.
It has been a while since a newsletter went out, so
I am going to sit myself down and get on with it!
I wanted to pass on to you some information that
the Larsens found when we were reading the
Sherlock Holmes stories. They found two lists of
favorite Holmes stories. One from Conan Doyle
done in 1927 and one from the members of The
Baker Street Irregulars published in The Baker Street
Journal in 1959.
