Quotable SherlockType of material: Softcover book Author: compiled and edited by David W. Barber Publisher: Quotable Books, Windsor Books International, The Boundary, Wheatley Road, Garsington, Oxford OX44 9EJ Year: 2001 Pages: 118 pages Price: £7.95 Review: This is a strong and handsome paperback. The editor has chosen his quotations judiciously and arranged them under appropriate headings - mostly the words are spoken by or about Holmes himself, of course, but I think Mr Barber may have picked up a few pointed passages that escaped Bruce Beaman in his out-of-print Sherlock Holmes Book of Quotations. I can see that this will be a very useful reference tool. Reviewed by: Roger Johnson, [District Messenger 216, 2001]
