Guilin Canton Guangdong (China Guides Series)
Published in Paperback by China Books & Periodicals (December, 1985)
Author: Paddy Booz
Average review score:

Another very dated book about China
With the way China is screaming into the Twenty-First century, and the speed that things are changing, especially tourist facilities, this book was pretty useless. All of its hotel and restaurant information is over 13 years old. If that's what you're buying this book for, don't bother.


The Moriarty Principle: Ruminations on Sherlock Holmes
Published in Paperback by Galde Press, Inc. (May, 1997)
Author: Rolf J. Canton
Average review score:

Love and enthusiasm don't always equal quality
This book is written by Sherlockian Rolf Canton. He is obviously a huge fan of Holmes, and has put this book together with a great degree of enthusiasm. However, it lacks the most important ingredient: skill.

The book itself is a odd hodgepodge of things: the best thing is the opening essay, 'The Moriarty Principle', which looks at the role and importance of Moriarty in defining Sherlock Holmes. Then we have lots of photos of the Norwegian Explorers of Minnesota, a Sherlock Holmes fan club, poems (more or less - there is a lot more to poetry than just getting things to rhyme!), some essays of aspects of the Holmes canon and related matters (including an examination of whether Holmes' assigned birthday of 6 January really suits the astrological sign that would be his), some scripts and fiction.

Sadly, it really isn't worth the cost of the book overall.
