A Classic of the Canonical World

                       

Before there was the Internet, there was Classic Specialties.

For almost 30 years, the Cincinnati-based mail order house operated by Carolyn and the late Joel Senter in the late 20^th and early 21^st Century was the place to go for all things Sherlockian.

I thought of that recently when I encountered in my office one of their six-page catalogs, which sold for $1. Oh, the treasurers! Where else would you go in those days to find all in one place Holmes-themed scarves, ties, sweaters, lamps, and the beautiful “Empty House” stained glass panel above?

Most nostalgic of all, page 6 offers audio cassettes sets of radio adaptations of The Adventures and all four novels. Audio cassettes!
