Jaffee, put out by the Glencannon Press? Set up like Jack Tracy's "Encyclopaedia Sherlockiana", it's 240 pages that a landlubber like me really needs. Highly recommended. <br /><br />Excellent review. I'm glad to see you're keeping up with Brad's summer reading, even when he's not. Oddly, he seems to be busy posting links to "Elementary" merchandise, helping the show and CBS. Even when the show is not part of the popular conversation, he seems to be plugging it ("There's no such thing as bad press"). I won't say it's an obsession with him, but the word "intervention" does spring to mind.<br /><br />Love the link to the definition "grotesque". It's nice to be reminded how careful a writer the good doctor was when it comes to word choice.James C. O'Learyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13866010043246236340noreply@blogger.com
