My friend down the street had old, not so great copies of Collier's complete #sherlockholmes in 8 volumes, The Further Adv of SH by Peter Haining, The Uncollected SH by Richard Lancelyn Green, The Exploits of SH by Adrian Conan Doyle. He had Loxley Books in England remake them into this set.😍

We finished the little book nook kit, despite our own limitations and the limitations of the instructions. Far from our best work, but fun, and now a Christmas gift from two years ago is done.

At the airport at stupid o’clock early as directed so I can wait an annoying amount of time to board. I’ve brought a suitably grumpy and often annoying (but brilliant, damn it) man to read.

This is supposed to be an insect of some sort depicted on my new desk pad. But I think it is really a photo of #Cthulhu mad about what’s been written about him in the book he’s reading.

@221bcooee.bsky.social @darlenecypser.bsky.social IIRC, I read a paper discussing how Doyle hardly mentioned his first wife in 'Memories and Adventures.' Seems like there was something about not even using her name. Now is that true? I don't know. This book, now in my TBR, may contain some insight:

Reading while airport sitting this morning. About 550 pages in. A true master class in the art of short story writing.

Book #5 came to life today. Despite all the craziness in the world, there is still joy to be found in little things like 12 pages of a new manuscript. This FDS lovely piece of art is the inspiration for this book. On we go....
