The book consists of a facsimile manuscript of the speech, together with other letters and documents, essays, and commentary from a variety of Sherlockians.Along the way, a mystery is solved and we have the added pleasure of the writing of Cathy Miranker, Glen's wife and co-conspirator in this and the traveling exhibition of 221 objects from his collection.Also, we have Sherlockian news, Madeline Quinones' segment "A Chance of Listening," and another Canonical Couplet quiz.
