If you agree with Christopher Morley and many Sherlockian scholars, you'll be celebrating Sherlock Holmes' birthday today (6 January 1854). On the subject of the Baker Street Irregulars, this by Otto Penzler, and the New Yorker piece he references about the death of noted Holmes scholar Richard Lancelyn Green. (More thoughts by David Grann, the author of the piece, here.)

If all this tickles you, there's a new, impressively annotated edition of the 56 short stories in the Sherlock Holmes canon, edited by Leslie Klinger (whose day job is--ta da!--a lawyer who lives in Los Angeles).
