Sherlockiana and locked room mysteries
 
Anyone out there with hardcover or original paperback editions of Sherlockiana? I don't need first editions (even fair conditions are acceptable). Also looking for locked room novels. I'm on a budget so am not interested in highly-priced rare editions.

Just to say best of luck in your search. As a wanderer of used bookstores, I'd say that if there's anything you're looking for in particular, I'll notify you if I find the item and give you the name of the store so you can contact them. (Assuming I don't want it for myself, of course. In that case I wouldn't say anything.)

No charge. I just like looking around. I've got a day job.

Just in passing, the oddest Sherlock item I ever picked up was a copy of Sign of (the) Four, printed entirely in Gregg shorthand. Can't read it myself and (given that shorthand is now pretty obsolete) I wonder if anybody can.

Thank you kind sir!
Regarding that Gregg shorthand edition, I found a couple for sale in the Abebooks website (I was looking for Gregg Press mystery books?!?!?!) some years ago and was surprised of its existence. I believe all the books listed for that edition were being offered for over $150 each!
Anyway, it's not for me, not because of the price, but because it's a Conan Doyle book. I need the non- Doyle works.
Anyway, thanks again buddy. I had to take a week-long recess from a temp job I had (they don't have work lined up for me) so my financial resources have taken a tumble. Whatever rejects you have I'll take a look.
