Lost classic...in print for the first time in sixty years!

This is a whimsical little book which finds the creator of Sherlock Holmes musing on his life long love of reading. Odds are good that if you have found this listing in your internet travels you are also a person who loves books. If so, buy this title while you are lucky enough to be able to lay your hands on it. It took me ten years to find a copy! This paperback is a very nice edition with the complete text intact. What you will get for your money is the warmest little book about books that you have ever read...and experience that feels like an intimate conversation with Doyle as he takes you through a tour of his personal library. Its more like reading a letter than an essay. I know I've acquired some new books on Sir Arthur's recommendations and you probably will too. Don't hesitate...its worth every cent and you may never find an affordable copy again. Happy reading friends!
