That Baring-Gould is real ? Cool. I had thought it was a reference Brian Stableford had made up to quote chunks from in the trilogy starting with The Werewolves of London.

[ It's not the same Baring-Gould as wrote the Sherlock Holmes biography, is it ? ]

No, it's real. ISBN 1 85958 072 6

And the Baring-Gould who was a Sherlockian was W. S. (http://www.sherlockian.net/societies/baringgould.html) This one is Sabine (http://www.sbgas.fsnet.co.uk/).

There is also more Baring-Gould (I'm pretty sure it's Sabine) in the Holmes pastiche novels by Laurie King (in this particular case The Moor)

They're amazingly good pastiches, and *farfar* better than you'd think they'd be. (I got elisem pretty firmly hooked on them, too.) They're essentially very *very* good fanfic, with a scrupulous attention to details and continuity issues and lovely complex characters.

G. K. Four Faultless Felons. (Dover Reprints, how I love them.)

Aren't the Dover Reprints fantastic? I have a couple of Trollopes reprinted with illustrations from the original. I hope your Faultless Felons came with pictures.
