hen I announced on one of my other blogs (a million monkeys typing) that I was going to launch a Sherlock Holmes blog, I had five people (two or three of whom were booksellers) appear out of the woodwork to tell me how much they enjoyed the D*I*Y Planner, and that they were going to send me books and other resources as a thank you. At first, I wasn’t quite sure how this would pan out, but sure enough, the past few days have seen a number of books arriving on my doorstep. Every package brings the same feelings that Christmas brought when I was a child: I’m happy, giddy, excited, and a thousand other joyous redundancies.

And so I must gratefully (and publicly) acknowledge the wonderful contributions of Jeffrey Cates, Eloah Simpson, Ralph Escott, Sherry Robbins, and “Ms. Adler and her husband”. Thank you, my friends, I’m glad you enjoy my other little project so much, and your gifts do mean a lot to me. They have plugged some rather critical gaps in my collection, and will certainly aid in the production of this site. Be sure to let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.
