6 posts | 5 read | 12 to read
My name is Sherlock Holmes. It is my business to know what other people don t know. This reader s companion to the casework of Sherlock Holmes explores the methodology of the world s most famous consulting detective. From analyzing fingerprints and decoding ciphers to creating disguises and faking one s own death, readers will learn how Holmes solved his most celebrated cases plus an arsenal of modern techniques available to today s armchair sleuths. Along the way, readers will discover a host of trivia about the master detective and his universe: Why did Holmes never marry? How was the real Scotland Yard organized? Was cocaine really legal back then? And why were the British so terrified of Australia? Full of fascinating how-to skills and evocative illustrations, The Sherlock Holmes Handbook will appeal to Baker Street Irregulars of all ages."

Mehso-so

This book was good but very drawn out a lot of extra information. Still a good book just one that I couldn‘t be 100 percent behind

These two men are certainly known more for their #pride than their humility. But then, they have both been named "the world's greatest detective," so I would say their pride is excusable. ?

I‘m working hard to take part in #30daysofreadathon but with today‘s #red prompt I was sure I would fail. It‘s tough when you read a lot of ebooks but when I looked at my shelves I found this little gem. It‘s definitely red, even if it‘s a bit muted.

Sarah83 What a lovely book 😍 7y
jpmcwisemorgan @Sarah83 It‘s fun. When I read it, I wished I could be a detective! 7y
Sarah83 I really believe that. 😍😎 7y

I just opened a Valentine's gift from my mom. This looks like a fun read! The last two chapters are "How to Interact with Royalty" and "How to Raise Bees." I can't wait to read this!
