The Canonical Compendium [Sherlock Holmes; Sherlockiana]

xiv, 429 pp. "Comprising a topical index of places, people, events, and items appearing in the Sherlockian Canon, in 80 categories and 144 subcategories, together with sixty different story indexes, one for each of the adventures of Sherlock Holmes... For the first time ever in a Sherlockian reference book, entries are cross-referenced to five major editions of the canon: the Doubleday, the Baring-Gould Annotated, the Heritage, the John Murray, and the Oxford, making this volume of practical use to virtually all readers of the Sherlock Holmes stories. The topical index and the sixty story indexes together provide an overview of the collected Sherlockian works that has not previously been available in such scope and detail."
