Thomas G. Winner Libri

"This monograph ... presents a complete analysis of all pipe smoking references relating to Sherlock Holmes, as given in the fifty-six short stories and four novels of the canon, as well as in its original illustration ... for the first English edition. Our analysis of these references is divided into four parts: pipes, tobaccos, place and daily time of smoking. For all references to pipes in the original illustrations showing a sufficient clear picture of a specified pipe, a close existing pipe model is presented. For the reader's convenience, all pipe-related references in the canon's text and its original illustrations are listed in the appendix."--Cover page [4]
