The Worth of the
Game, Being a Final Travel Guide to the England of Sherlock Holmes
by David L. Hammer
David, the author, told
us, "This is a bettersweet book as it is the conclusion of my search for English
sites which were familiar to the celebrated detective and the good doctor. This
title, The Worth of the Game, contains a certain accuracy for, like Neil Gibson
(THOR), I have tried to play the game for all it is worth, although not as
successfully as did "the gold king." In this volume, the peripatetic Mr. Hammer
takes the reader along as he visits more than two-dozen additional British
locations familiar to fans of The Canon including Whitehall, the location of the
great river race (SIGN), a castle of a "certain gracious lady," the Bar of Gold,
and there is even a chapter entitled, "A Coffin for Lady Carfax." 371 pages,
soft cover, hundreds of photos of British canonical locations, maps and
diagrams.
