If you, like me, loves Holmes & Watson stories, this book is a must.
It really analyze almost all the related works (as the author says, it's impossible to even be aware of ALL the works related to Sherlock Holmes) in every media; yes, even fanfiction. Which, of course, is what the early pastiches were after all :P
And, as a fan of both universe, I particularly enjoyed the parallels he bring up front between Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek ♥
It's really interesting how he explore the way in which social and/or geographical settings change the way in which our heroes are presented; how early adaptations of the canon (like William Gillette'movies) have influence not only over future pastiches but even in the later works of Conan Doyle, and how each new adaptation has an effect in the next ones.
It's a really, really interesting book :D
