Proof that a good story will last. It's been interesting reading the British Library crime novel reprints; as cruel as it sounds, I feel like saying 'Sometimes things go out of print for a reason'. Whereas Holmes never will.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211353948967221274.post-81140349572623531692014-10-29T09:37:59.437+00:002014-10-29T09:37:59.437+00:00Oh, cool!
