Guest Post: The Daily Sherlock Holmes: A Year of Quotes from the Case-Book of the World’s Greatest Detective.

I recently asked for guest posts. I have now received one from Levi Stahl the co-editor of The Daily Sherlock Holmes: A Year of Quotes from the Case-Book of the World’s Greatest Detective.

By way of transparency, I have not seen a copy of the book or received any form of consideration. The post is shown as received, free of edits.
