I haven't read any of Shelock Holmes books, so I just went by the game.
After I played the game which was years ago not long after it came out, I
got more interested in Holmes and bought a few videos with Basil Rathbone as
Holmes as I particularly like him. There are DVD's of his movies available
now as well, but I haven't gotten around to getting them. I have enough DVD
movies for now but can't resist buying more of the older movies.
