Sherlock Holmes is one of those addictions that tends to get you at a young age, and proves damn difficult to escape. So once you've read the four novellas and the five volumes of short stories (the so-called canon), and you've re-read them a few times, where do you go? You go to the pseudo-canon, the rip-off books, like these.

These novels are rated in terms of pipes - one pipe means it's completely worthless, five pipes means it's a creative, entertaining addition to the literature and of the highest possible value.

This collection hardly even starts to scrape the surface. For a discussion of a great many more such works, visit an article from Sherlock Holmes The Detective Magazine.
