Description
Sherlock Holmes as a Pipe Smoker presents a comprehensive analysis of all pipe smoking references in the canon and its original illustrations. This monograph examines 62 text references to pipes, 19 text references to tobacco, and 22 original illustrations from the fifty-six short stories and four novels. The book's focus is on the specific habits of Sherlock Holmes, excluding references to other characters' tobacco consumption. The author has conducted a thorough manual search, double-checked with internet searches, and organized the findings into four parts: pipes, tobaccos, place, and daily time of smoking. For clarity, all pipe-related references are listed in an appendix. By exploring the detailed habits of Sherlock Holmes as a pipe smoker, this book offers a unique insight into the character's personality and daily routine.
