"The 75th anniversary edition of The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes has no peer, and, to my mind, is the one version for any Sherlockian from this point forward."
--Brad Keefauver


"This new edition is a splendid tribute to Starrett and his book."
--Peter Blau


"What a treasure! If you love Sherlock Holmes, you must get this. And if you haven't yet caught the Sherlockian fever, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes will certainly give it to you. Bravo to Ray Betzner, who worked so diligently to make this edition of Starrett's book a reality."
--Wally Conger


"Classic."
--Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine


"One of the best books of this sort [is] this edition, edited by Ray Betzner."
--Marv Lachman, Mystery News


"Starrett's book is the classic on Sherlock Holmes, and the one book that every fan of the detective should, uh, consult. The Wessex Press edition...is beautifully done."
