I think this will be a book that I'll keep with me forever; I received my copy at the judicial review for Undershaw in May of this year.
The stories are diverse and have been well chosen, there is a great amount of talent within those pages.
There is so much love for Undershaw, it's incredible. I feel truly moved whenever I think of how hundreds of people, from around the world, have banded together to say 'No. We won't let you do this.' All of this, the love, the fight, the dedication, all stem from our adoration of Sir Arthur and his literary legacy.
Let's keep the good work going!

The book was a great idea for fans to show their love for Holmes, Watson and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and also help out with trying to save Undershaw. There were some really neat and interesting Sherlock cases and poems, and the only issue I had was some of the errors in some stories and whatnot. Not enough to drive me mad--or even really bad errors--, but they were still there. All in all, the book was a great idea and I'm glad for the royalties to have gone to the UPT. It's a shame that they would try and tear down such a historic place!

This collection of fan-written stories raises money in order to save Arthur Conan Doyle's house, Undershaw, from ruin, so it's money well-spent. However, as most fanfiction, the quality of the stories varies wildly - unfortunately mostly on the side of underwhelming (and badly edited), although there were a couple of gems, like a sci-fi story wherein John Watson returns to Old London from a war in outer space.
