Mentalism classics and the Finding Sherlock Holmes series from Winston Manor Press.
James Biss first made his name in print with two acclaimed books on mentalism. Today, as publisher at Winston Manor Press, he restores, annotates and continues the Sherlock Holmes Canon — from the 1887 Beeton's Christmas Annual to the untold cases in Watson's tin dispatch-box.
Thirteen of the untold cases Watson mentioned but never told, written in full in the authentic voice of the Canon, each followed by a "Beyond the Story" essay.
