I read the entire thing in about 3 hours and learned nothing new. If this had been one of the first sherlockian references I read then it would have been perfect. ( ) Review: The Bedside, Bathtub & Armchair Companion to Sherlock Holmes by Dick Riley & Pam McAllister is an attractive book, engagingly written and profusely illustrated in black & white. The authors have done their homework, and their essays on, for instance, the British peerage, drug use and abuse, and Sherlockian parody & pastiche, are brief but often enlightening. They seem sound on Holmesian societies, though a few addresses might have been helpful. Reviewed by: Roger Johnson, [District Messenger 185, 1998] geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Providing an overview of all aspects of the life and times of the world-famous detective, Riley and McAllister offer interesting and entertaining information about the fictional sleuth. Along with the trivia and information, the authors insert historical background on Victorian England, a short biography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and brief synopses of the Holmes stories. Additional chapters cover explanations of rank in the British nobility, drugs used in the era, and the wars mentioned in the stories. Several chapters make forays into understanding the psychology of Holmes, his personality, and his pleasures. One entire chapter reviews the various clubs dedicated to him. A crossword puzzle, a Sherlock Holmes Mystery Map of London, and around 200 black-and-white illustrations, including some from the stories and some of Victorian London, add to the fun.
