This book is my humble attempt to shine a light on the work of the best and wisest I have ever known. He has, I think it is safe to say, elevated the science of detection into an art form. Having been at his side during some of his most remarkable cases, it has fallen to me to bring his achievements to the attention of the wider public. He is, quite simply, the Mozart of criminal investigation.

I would say more, but I am flattered and delighted to say that Sherlock Holmes himself has agreed to write a piece for the cover. John Watson

Don't buy this book. The author has transformed what should have been a series of lectures into a gross and tasteless entertainment. The science of deduction is a branch of human achievement requiring serious analysis and yet here I find it lavishly illustrated, disfigured with humour and infested with gossip.

Apparently, this kind of sensationalism is required to engage the interest of the reading public, but it is rather like working an office romance into a paper on quantum physics. Only an idiot would be impressed. Help yourself. Sherlock Holmes

5.0 Sherlock: The Casebook - Love this book!
*5 ++ Stars**The Gush* I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THIS BOOK! I found this completely by accident on Amazon and was fortunate to be able to get it since it only came out in Britain (send it over here ASAP!). I wasn't sure what it was but I'd hoped they'd put out something based on my favorite TV show E...

OH MY GOSH HELLS YES. The notes XD Not going to review it, but it's not all about the TV series, there's some things about the books and classic TV series and such. But the scrapbook type set out is hilarious.

It's a mix of a casebook "created by John Watson" and brief sections on various aspects of the show, Holmes' mythology, and how each episode relates to the Doyle version. The sections written by John have post-it notes from John, Sherlock and occasionally Mycroft. The font used for John and Mycroft'...
